Revealing mistake: In the gun battle following the bank robbery, Drucker fires his shotgun at Cherrito. A female pedestrian in the background (apparently unaware she's in the shot) can be seen acting casually, without any reaction to the gun battle taking place.
Heat (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Al Pacino, Jon Voight, Hank Azaria, Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Haysbert, William Fichtner, Amy Brenneman
Neil (Robert DeNiro) was on his way to freedom with his 'girlfriend' Eady (Amy Brenneman) (whom he was really only using for companionship anyway). However, he gets a call on his cell phone from Nate (Jon Voight), who informs him that they've found the location of Waingro (Kevin Gage), the former member of his team that ruined the bank robbery (and escaped at the beginning of the movie) and betrayed them by helping Van Zant (William Fichtner) and killing Trejo (Danny Trejo). At first, Neil doesn't care about this, but after he hangs up and continues on his route to freedom, he can't get Waingro off his mind, so he decides to make a detour to the hotel and take care of him. However, this gives Vincent (Al Pacino) time to track him down, and they meet face-to-face as Neil is about to drive away. In his panic, Neil makes a run for it (leaving Eady abandoned in the car) and the two men have a shoot out near an airport runway. In Neil's haste, when he emerges to shoot Vincent, Vincent manages to spot his moving shadow and quickly turns to shoot him first. Neil then admits that Vincent was the better man and salutes him with a handshake, before slowly passing away.

More trivia for Heat
Question: How did Lauren know what hotel Vincent was in? Vincent never told her or her mom where he was going, as far as I remember.
Answer: When Vincent is comforting his wife at the hospital, she says, "She chose you. She picked your place." I guess the implication is he had been staying there for a long time and both Justine and Lauren knew where that was. That's the best explanation I have been able to find.
