Heat is as good as people have been telling you.
There's also a novel, Heat 2, written by the movie's director that serves as a prequel and sequel.
And I hear soon there is Heat 2 the movie
I hope they use younger actors. 'Space Cowboys' had younger actors lip synching Eastwood and Jones for the early scenes. Either that or do it an an animation, the way they brought back Adam West to do a final Batman movie.
I hate deaging.
Leo and Bale it seems along with other well known faces
Heat is, in my opinion, a really bad movie. I just don't see what others like about it, outside the action set pieces.
The cat & mouse between the protagonists and the unfolding similarity of their drives and subsequent impact on their personal lives.
Ok, but that's through stilted, awkward, and dull conversations ... I stopped watching at the halfway point because I was bored, and skipped to the action bits TBH (and that's not something I've ever done for another movie)
