 Dougs Movie Reviews - Heat (1995)
Generally I’d say Heat avoided many of the typical stereotypes, although the films treatment of the leads wives/girlfriends is probably the worst offense.
Heat tells the story of an extremely skilled, professional almost, and tightly knit group of career criminals who pull off well planned and executed high dollar robberies.
An interesting tidbit on the production from IMDB: Heat was filmed entirely without the use of soundstages at 65 different locations around LA. I was surprised by this mainly because I was sure the shot of De Niro and his girlfriend overlooking LA at night had to be blue screened or something, apparently not.

 'Heat'
He's a master of texture and atmosphere, and in "Heat," the volatile though confounding story of a Los Angeles detective's hunt for a master thief, writer-director Mann works as if he were a composer, laying down his super-saturated wide-screen images like a series of menacing, unresolved chords.
The movie pairs Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as sort of Method Twin Towers.
Heat is rated R for violence, language and adult situations.

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Heat
HEAT is a action movie of great energy and excellent stunts that masquerades as an epic.
HEAT is a new movie written and directed by Michael Mann (THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, MANHUNTER, THIEF, and the TV series "Miami Vice").
It is an interesting movie with lots of action so most viewers will leave the theater satisfied and yet it has the potential for much more that it delivers.

The year's best movie focuses on a woman who thinks her mysterious illness is caused by toxins in the environment and pursues a "new age" cure that slowly isolates her from all she once held dear.
The movie tries earnestly to blend wry humor with a no-nonsense charm deemed appropriate for its working-class characters, but the acting and scripting are too uneven for either the drama or the comedy to gather much steam.
The movie is just a collection of pretty shots with nothing in particular to say, but the combination of 3-D photography and the huge Imax screen gives it plenty of visual punch, and it's all over in a snappy 35 minutes.

 Heat (1995): Reviews
Heat is in the cop-movie pantheon with Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low," and that's as "right" as the genre gets.
It didn't sound like fun to us, either, but we were wrong; Heat scores on many fronts...The plot, though it seems to ramble, builds suspense with deft precision, and the action set pieces are triumphs.
There isn't much to recommend this movie until Pacino and De Niro finally share the first of their two scenes together.

 'Heat'
N PAPER at least, "Heat" is little more than another killing-spree entertainment from the Time-Warner conglomerate.
But if "Heat" tells a shopworn story, full of jaded cops, professional criminals and random deaths, it does so on a high aesthetic plane.
Given that violence is a part of our real and moviegoing lives, this classical treatment may give it a serenity it doesn't deserve, but it's a serenity just the same.

manages to make me feel both: throughout the movie, I never felt like gripping my seat handle, but I did enjoy laying back and taking what little of the story there was in slowly.
Hanna must stop this criminal gang just as they are about to pull off their last big job.
The movie has a moralistic ending (yes, I just gave the plot away) which makes a feeble attempt at surrealism.

The movie has big action and profound violence but it is realistic and not Hollywood style or over the top.

I hate to condone the making of 3-hour long movies, but HEAT is one in which you're not going to fall asleep.
HEAT is the instantly gripping tale of a large-scale heist leader and die-hard loner named Neil McCauley (DeNiro).
While these relationship subplots are mildly interesting, they seem completely out of place in the movie and, in the end, weigh the film down.

 Heat Movie Review
Their characters have three scenes together, but the way they are shot, the two never really appear on screen at the same time, which is a huge disappointment, much like the film itself.

Although there is a bank heist scene in the movie that has to be one of the best action sequences in a long time.
But "Heat" is much, much more than a vanity project or a footnote in the history of real life American bank robberies.
Clocking in at an impressive three hours, "Heat" is one of the better action films released by Hollywood in the last twenty years, a film that literally transcends the genre due to its intensive character driven plot.

 Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Heat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Action movies suffer from a bad rap, spurred on by the testosterone-laden antics of such strongmen as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean Claude Van Damme.
After that, the movie dedicates an hour and a half toward exposition, most of which is entirely unnecessary.
That happens 45 minutes before the movie is scheduled to end, though, the final third of Heat is unacceptably anticlimactic.

 Analysis of Michael Mann's Heat
The movie is a complex cops and robbers story, but with De Niro and Pacino, it becomes a battle of superhuman.
Heat fits into the organized crime genre, and though it isn’t solely driven by suspense, its narrative does hold back information on purpose.
Heat doesn’t make a clear-cut distinction between who is good and who is bad.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Heat | Deseret Morning News Web edition
The meeting of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in "Heat" is being touted as a real event, since the only other pairing of the two dynamic Oscar-winners was in "The Godfather, Part II" — and, of course, because De Niro played Pacino's father in flashbacks, they never shared the screen.
As a contemporary crime thriller, however, "Heat" is certainly more thoughtful than most, and despite a few somewhat sluggish moments, it doesn't really drag all that much.
"Heat" is rated R for violence, gore, sex, nudity, wall-to-wall profanity and vulgarity and drug abuse.

 Laramie Movie Scope: Heat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
While De Niro's performance is dead-on during the entire film, Pacino goes over the top from time to time, seemingly reverting back to his character in ``Scent of a Woman.'' Mann also tends to beat the viewer over the head with that parallel story, when it could have been done a bit more subtly.
The movie would have been better had a couple of the minor characters had a little less screen time.

Because of this complex storyline, it almost seems as if one is watching two movies, with one about each of the two characters.
In a cast so full of big names, it is so rewarding to see everyone come together to make the characters each have their own place in the film.
Because of these and other well done aspects, 'Heat' is one of the most powerful crime dramas ever made.

 Heat . Austin Chronicle . 09-22-97
Once Hanna and his team of detectives sniff out McCauly's trail after a botched armed robbery hit, Heat becomes a mesmerizing and relentless cat-and-mouse game where the bad guys are always one step ahead.
Some might have expected the two to collide like forces of nature, but in a high noon scene that should go down in cinematic history, the two merely talk life and realize they are essentially the same.
Hanna and McCauly eventually meet again in one of the greatest bank robbery/shoot-out scenes ever that is beautifully chaotic and masterfully edited (last January's Bank of America shoot-out in L.A. was an eerie reenactment).

Because of this movie, cops are now wearing heavier levels of body armor and carry rifles more often than shotguns in many departments around the country.

The reason is because HEAT has the best gun battle in it.

 White Heat (1949)
White Heat (1949) is one of the top classic crime-heist dramas of the post-war period, and one of the last of Warner Bros' gritty crime films in its era.
White Heat is an entertaining, fascinating and hypnotic portrait of a flamboyant, mother-dominated and fixated, epileptic and psychotic killer, who often spouts crude bits of humor.
Bending over him, his mother kneads her fingers into the back of his neck and head to soften the 'buzz-saw' pain and white heat of the debilitating, blinding migraine and provide soothing solace and comfort for her son.

Plot Outline: In the midst of a searing Florida heat wave, a woman convinces her lover, a small-town lawyer, to murder her rich husband.
Trivia: This movie was originally slated to be shot in New York/New Jersey.
While I'm not a fan of the sex and language direction that films have taken since the movie code died, part of the fun in watching `Body Heat' is knowing that there is a chance that either or both William Hurt and Kathleen Turner will get by with killing Turner's husband, played by Richard Crenna.

 Review: Heat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Now, in Heat, writer/director Michael Mann (The Last of the Mohicans) has contrived a cinematic intersection in their careers ("contrived" being the operative word), and the result is, unfortunately, a colossal disappointment.
In fact, not only is it not a great movie, but it's not even an especially good one.
Someone should have told Mann that if he was going to make a routine movie, he should have kept it to a reasonable length.
