Heat

“Stunningly made and incisively acted by a large and terrific cast, Michael Mann's ambitious study of the relativity of good and evil stands apart from other films of its type by virtue of its extraordinarily rich characterizations and its thoughtful, deeply melancholy take on modern life.”

Todd McCarthy, Variety · 100

“One of the most intelligent crime-thrillers to come along in years.”

Simon Cote, Austin Chronicle · 100

“A sleek, accomplished piece of work, meticulously controlled and completely involving. The dark end of the street doesn't get much more inviting than this.”

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 100

“Heat is in the cop-movie pantheon with Akira Kurosawa's "High and Low," and that's as "right" as the genre gets.”

Mike Clark, USA Today · 100

“A stunning crime drama that shares its protagonists' rabid attention to detail and love of adrenalin.”
