Review of Heat (1995) by Hoss R — 01 Dec 2011
Involving crime drama from director Michael Mann. The cast is incredible (seriously, you won't believe how many great actors are in this) and the story is always interesting, even as long as it is.
The final hour is probably the best - it's where the characters we've come to sympathize with have to make their most difficult choices. There are problems with the movie: some cheesy music, convenient set-ups, the ending could be stronger, and we still feel a little distant from the characters despite spending so much time with them.
Yet with all this it manages to feel somewhat realistic, which helps us to care what's going down until the final frame.
