Executive producer of Miami Vice, always insisted on realism with respect to firearms handling/usage on his productions . . . not typical for Hollywood. THIEF (1981) and HEAT (1995) are classics. The final sequence in THIEF, where James Caan uses a longslide 1911, might be the best gunfight in cinema history.

It's a shame he's fallen off in recent years. The 2006 MIAMI VICE movie is ok but really doesn't recapture the vibes of the show. PUBLIC ENEMIES (2009) was so boring I stopped halfway through it. John Milius's DILLINGER (1973) with Warren Oates is a far superior Dillinger movie.
