“Every year I kick off summer with a rewatch of Heat (1995). Perfect perfect perfect movie.”

“tbh most underrated film of all time. an absolute banger from beginning to end. "Find someone who looks at you the way Michael Mann's camera looks at the city of LA or the way Pacino looks at De Niro in this movie." - @Hungcat's review on letterboxd”

“Aesthetically, for a movie that's been out for over 20 years, it feels shockingly modern yet nostalgic. Modern insofar as how naturalistic the way it is shot and blocked and lit. Modern heist movies (good and bad) have aped the color grading, the subjective nature of the camera, the narrative foils. (The obvious example is Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.) It set the gold standard for shootout”
