Fun Fact- This movie actually gets better and better every time you watch it.

I saw this in the theater in 1995. At the end, something happened I'd never seen before or since. Everyone in the theater... EVERYONE (and the theater was packed)... stood up and watched the ending in silence. We were SALUTING the movie. Afterward, everyone was giddy, animated, talking like crazy. We couldn't believe what we'd just seen.

Just remember Jen: if you meet a guy and his first words to you are "hey lady, why are you so interested in what I read or what I do?" or if you go to a guy's house and it has no furniture, RUN AWAY!

"Just a little after crime pie" is my new favorite quote

Easily one of the best films ever to see at the cinema. The shootout scene blew me sideways back when I saw it on original release. It's used as training for Police and US Army as a guide how to execute a fighting retreat.

I always liked that during the shootout sequence, there’s no music. It’s all natural sound of the chaos. Another director would have cranked up the music to make it feel more cinematic, but Mann makes it feel more real.

“Heat” and “Thief” cemented Michael Mann’s place as maybe the best crime procedural director ever. “Collateral” is also up there if you want to see one of Tom Cruise’s best performances.

Master-class is the perfect word for most of Michael Mann’s films! I’d recommend Collateral, Miami Vice and Public Enemies. Great casts with great crime action!

This movie is one of the best of the 1990s. In the top ten as far as I'm concerned. I love everything about this movie. The performances, the score, the L.A. vibes. I know it's long, but honestly, I wouldn't take out one scene from this film. Some movies are just meant to be longer to really get the full experience. Great reaction as, always. I would love to see you reac to 1993's Carlito's Way. Al Pacino and Sean Penn!

The opening bank robbery scene in The Dark Kight is an hommage to this movie. Great reactions Jen!!

The sound in the street shootout was so realistic because they actually fired blanks in those streets and set up mics to capture the natural reverb from the buildings. So cool

I recall being in the Virgin Megastore in Times Square and in the video section they had the heist shoot-out sequence playing and everyone was so transfixed you could hear a pin drop (I had seen it properly prior in a theatre; but still). Fun fact: Kilmer's skills at reloading during that set-piece so had an affect and impressed by Fort Bragg it used it for training Special Forces agents on the proper ways he employed (!) This is Mann's masterpiece - I urge you to deep dive in his canon with the criminally (sure pun intended) underrated THIEF starring the late, great James Caan as well as MANHUNTER the first film to explore the world of Hannibal Lecter (and you s/check out the TV series - NOT the film version he later did of - MIAMI VICE). Glad you finally got to this film Jen! PS: Double tap is lingo re: a professional assassin who shoots twice (literally) to ensure a confirm kill.

'Heat' is one of my favourites of all time. Superb storytelling, attention to detail, incredible set pieces and an unbelievable cast. Any day watching this film is a good day in my book.

HEAT... probably my favorite film! Ensemble Cast, the Lighting, Score, Acting, Soundtrack,.. ALL OF IT

The reaction is worth the risk. I should watch it now.

Yes!! Idk why more people don't react to this movie but goddamn it's such a classic! Michael Mann does gunfights like no other (Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice) and the pacing is a thing of beauty. Fantastic reaction as always, Jen!

So much greatness in this movie -- the first DeNiro-Pacino scene together, the tight story, the amazing cast, cinematography and music. And that bit with Vincent's little TV - man, that's so real 😄

18:44 to 19:41 that is one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time. I mean you have 2 of the best actors (whom by the way never before have acted togheter) in the world given a great performance. Just epic. Anyway hope you enjoy the movie.

Michael Mann at the peak of his abilities, The Insider is great too, but Heat is a true classic, one of the best films of the 90s

My favorite heist film....the coffee shop scene and the final scene and music are exceptional. DeNiro and Pacino are excellent.

I was lucky enough to see this film in The cinemas as a 15 yr old. My 2 older brothers took me to see it. It had such a profound impact on me. Before this movie, I didn’t realise the extent in which movies could impact someone! I will always remember the credits, literally everyone in the cinema just sat there, trying to work out their feelings and emotions. Usually people just get up and leave at the credits, we all just sat there. Was such an amazing experience! This is what I love about cinema! It has the ability to evoke so many emotions! And this movie did that! I am forever great full my brothers dragged me along to this movie. An experience money could never buy!

I love Michael Mann films, they're always so stylish and atmospheric. Miami Vice is still one of the coolest TV shows ever made.

This movie's notable for a lot of cool technical things like the sound design: the ATMOS track on the UHD disc fcking kicks. I was worried the bass from the gun shots was going to blow out my surround speakers. And it feels like you're there, in the streets being fired at. It's awesome! There's a constant unnerving hum during the silent scenes, I think it's from the song "Armenia" by Einstürzende Neubauten.

GIMME ALL YOU GOT

They don't make movies like this anymore. Then again, Heat is a singular masterpiece. How could it ever be emulated?

Jen does it again this reaction gets a 10/10!

Most viewers don't care for character-driven stories like this (as opposed to plot-driven) because they complain that it moves too slowly. But this movie is fantastic because it takes the time to make you invested in the characters. The scene at the end where Hannah holds McCauley's hand while he dies is so powerful and shows the respect these adversaries had for each other!

Deja Vu. I could have sworn she did this already.🤔

One of my all-time favorites, and I'm so thrilled that you reacted to it, Jen. Your summary is on point. We are thrown into the lives of these people and we see both their good and bad traits, which makes them more human to us. The writing, acting, cinematography and soundtrack are great. This is the best from director Michael Mann, although I would also recommend that you see "Collateral" & "The Insider". Two other outstanding films directed by Mann, also. Thanks a lot for this, Jen!

Some other facts about this movie: - One of the reasons that the shootout leaving the bank was so realistic is because the actors were trained extensively by "Andy McNab" - the pseudonym belonging to a real British SAS commando (the British equivalent of our Delta Force, who were modeled after the SAS in fact) who had his own harrowing real-life combat experiences during the 1991 Gulf War, and wrote a book about it afterwards called Bravo Two-Zero. There was a TV movie made from the book starring Sean Bean as McNab. - Another reason the shootout was so incredible was because of the outstanding audio. There were no gun sounds taken from audio libraries as in most movies - live audio was taken during filming and the sound design in the movie was possibly the best guns have ever sounded - though Black Hawk Down is up there too. Each of the different guns had the correct sounds (VERY unlike most movies) because the actual sound was used in nearly all cases. This movie was nominated for several awards for sound design/audio. - The shootout scene inspired a horrific ACTUAL crime: the 1997 Hollywood Bank Robbery. Several men covered themselves in body armor and each had multiple (illegal) full-auto rifles, and attempted to rob a North Hollywood bank. It turned into the largest shootout in the history of Los Angeles, and there's a movie about that too, but there was also extensive, incredible news camera footage. Spoiler: in the end, they didn't survive. The movie, with interviews of many of those involved, was called 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout. - This is the ONLY movie where DeNiro and Pacino have acted together, despite them being in so many of the same kinds of movies, and even up for many of the same roles.

After this came out, something very similar to the bank shootout in downtown LA actually happened. IIRC, inspired by this film they wore body armor and had a shootout with cops. It was insane. IIRC, that event is why the LAPD started using assault weapons since their conventional weapons couldn't pierce their armor and they robbers carried heavier duty guns

Hard to pick favourites in a cast this stacked, but I love Van Zant's henchman played by Henry Rollins, actor, writer, comedian/spoken word artist and former singer of the punk band Black Flag. This was one of his first acting roles and he fits the archetype of the musclebound goon like a glove, even though irl he's an intelligent, articulate and sweet fellow who just happens to be able to really articulate rage in a unique way.

This is one of my favorite movies. There were no good guys. In the original script, Pacino's character was out of control because the stress of the job made him a cocaine addict. They even shot a scene showing him (briefly) doing coke to make the point, but it didn't make the final cut. And if the bank robbery scene looked good, it's because the director actually had DeNiro, Kilmer, and Sizemore study for their parts by planning all the details to rob an actual bank, which he even had them scope out. (They told the security guards ahead of time what they were doing, and obviously they didn't actually rob the bank.)

I love the details in this movie, Neal goes after Charlene because if the home life of Chris is stable his head will be clear for the heists. Neal has just enough plates/glasses in his kitchen for him self and the crew only. Vincent walks away from his one possession (the tv) and goes back to work just as Neal walks away from Eady to escape when the heat arrives. Neal reads books on metallurgy in his spare time so he can be a more effective thief. Yes I love this movie and the street gun fight is an amazing assault on the ear drums. The ending is perfect one of the men is mortally wounded it wasn't personal, Vincent got the shots off and waits as Neal dies.

So glad you enjoyed it! Among one of my favorite touches is that Edie is not the attachment that dooms Neal but rather good desire to get revenge on Waingro. All too often in the 80s and 90s action movies, women get a bad rap but here she's a positive even aspirational element to his life.

This was much better than any Mafia movie. Lots of tension and believable characters. Great choice , Jen.

the Pacino De Nero chat in the canteen as to be one the most iconic scenes in movies

22:07 This shootout manages to make the sound of total dead silence more deafening then the sound of all those rounds being fired.

The coffee shop scene was based on something that actually happened. Michael Mann’s technical advisor Charlie “Chuck” Adamson was going after a real Neil McCauley in the early 60s and their conversation started off a bit standoffish but slowly it turned to what was said on screen

I love this movie. Michael Mann has a visual style that really turns me on, and he refined it on "Miami Vice", which was epic television.

if you want to see Mann's original take on this sort of story you should check out Thief (1981) starring James Caan, Tuesday Weld, James Belushi, and a small role by Willie Nelson. It has a very similar story/plot in that it's about an aging high line criminal with a small crew who takes down high dollar "scores" but is trying to get out of the life etc. I've always speculated that since Thief (1981) didn't do well at the box office Mann took another stab at this sort of plot with L.A. Takedown and then years later with Heat. I saw Thief in 81' at the drive in, and I saw Heat in 95' in the theater. Both great films, though I would give the edge to Heat.

So Michael Mann remade his own TV movie ('L.A. Takedown'). I'm not 100% but I think it was intended as a TV pilot at first. But it's actually an interesting watch, because it's mostly this film word-for-word (without the subplots) just made on a MUCH cheaper scale. But it would have been fun to see it play out as a series.

If you want to see one o the most incredible performances from a child, watch The Professional. Natalie Portman is unbelievably good in that movie and she was only 13. Excellent movie, as well. Drama, action and a memorable villain played by Gary Oldman.

Saw this on opening night at the theater and about 100 times since. It never gets old.

Some of the story and scenes in this movie are indeed very much based on real events that happened in the 1960s; including, for example, the diner meeting scene. It's easy enough to read about the real detective and thief that the lead characters are based on and their story with a simple google search :) One of the great movies of any era I think.

I saw this movie twice once in the UK and once in South Africa where they actually had an interval halfway through. Great movie by actors at the top of their game. Criminally overlooked at the Oscars. But glad it gets the love it so deserves now.

"I don't really know who the good guys are here ..." And that's why I love this movie so much

11:29 - He's talking about stolen cars. The "Turbo" refers to the Porsche 911 Turbo and the "Slope" refers to the Porsche 930 "Slantnose".

One of my favorite movies when it comes to realistic situations, tactics, people and psychology. And THAT score...and the empty spaces with no music. Also, AMA low-key about dynamic entry, shooting indoors and other fun topics. To answer the question about large flashes when shooting...yes. Usually movies don't capture muzzle flashes correctly due to the spectrum and duh, filming in daylight. Nighttime it's more obvious and indoors in the dark is about as bad as it can get. That's an additive feature of shooting with suppressors (silencers, cans, whatever) is the reduced and sometimes eliminated muzzle blast. Mann going outside with the cut was good for both avoiding the graphic scene on top of a graphic scene, and the use of a strobe with the foley to express the action. Just genius work.

Trivia Christopher Nolan has said Heat was his inspiration for the Dark Knight.

The intense music when they’re driving just before they meet is a Moby cover of a Joy Division song - A New Dawn Fades

The weight of Heat is oppressive; you can see it on SupervillainJen's face. The good guy being bad at things, the bad guy being good at things, and the constant spiral downward... it's all very heavy. Heat became movie royalty the moment it was cast, and thankfully it JUST delivered. This is not a feel-good movie, but it has carried its weight over the years. My MVP is Michael Mann for directing the movie of a lifetime, and my low-key MVP is the unsettling music including the sparkly "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" by Moby. Great reaction as always. Keep up the good work, Jen!

I was just talking about Heat with a friend, and 2 People uploaded reactions right afterward. Coincidence? Yes.

The weapon handling and tactics in this...spot on.

Yes, the muzzle flash from a gun shot will light up a darkened room. And movie is very loosely based on a bank robbery in California where a couple of guys had full body armor and assault weapons. It was nuts. I remember the tv coverage of it.

Some fun facts about this movie, it's based on the real story of Neil McCauley and Chuck Adamson. Some of the scenes in the movie occur almost exactly as they did in real life. These scenes include the diner conversation between the robber and detective, and the failed bust at the metals warehouse. Except in reality it wasn't a warehouse of metals, but a manufacturer of drill bits. Other than the inspiration for the movie, Heat also has incredible weapons training. Former SAS operators trained the actors so their shooting, movements and reloads looked highly skilled. They performed so well that those scenes have been used as training material for military and law enforcement for years.

That song at the end is done by Moby and it's call God flying over the face of water. It's one of my favorite soundtrack songs.

Yessssssssss. You reacted to my all time favorite movie. Awesome reaction Jen.

Grrrreat choice. One of my all time favourites. It’s one of those movies where I can recite it word for word. Fun fact: this is actually a remake of an earlier film by Michael Mann called L.A Takedown. You have to check out Collateral and Miami Vice both by the same director. He’s one of my all time favourites.

The tracks on this soundtrack were half my then playlist. Loved it.

Excellent reaction to a Michael Mann directed cops and robbers thriller, done to perfection. It’s always worth mentioning that Al Pacino, said that his character Detective Vincent Hanna, has a bit of a cocaine habit to keep him sharp and on the edge, which was in the script, and explains his ferocious performance:)

Peak Pacino and DeNiro Sound design for gunfire is amazing.

A double tap is a shooting technique where two shots are fired in rapid succession at the same target with the same sight picture.

Ronin (1998) is a superb De Niro film, with an absolutely stellar cast!

An all-time achievement in many areas, but especially sound. Nothing else sounds like this, then or since.

Heat is most definitely a masterclass in action and is an extraordinary crime thriller with a stellar cast 📽🎬 DeNiro and Pacino act on screen together for the first time here , they were both in GODFATHER PART 2 but in seperate timelines . and while some people complained about their short scene together i believe it serves the purpose of the story well. Micheal Mann ( Collateral Miami Vice] is up there as one of the best Action /suspense directors . love your reactions Jen you always make great observations and you're always so into the movie .😃 CHEERS .

The famous shootout in this is so good because they got an ex SAS soldier in to "design" it, he'd been involved in operations in Northern Ireland among other events.

It's funny because right before i watched your reaction i was listening to the soundtrack and you mentioned the music so much.

One of those movies that’s so good, if you’re channel surfing and you come across it, you watch. Great story and character development. How many movies can you feel sympathy for both sides.

I like to think that Val Kilmer's character lived happily ever after because their getaway driver got them hooked up with Allstate life insurance and they were each other beneficiary, so he collected on all the other crew members who didn't make it.

This movie was the blueprint for "The Dark Knight"

Al Pacino is a fantastic actor and so is Robert De Niro.

Michael Mann wrote a sequel novel to this called Heat 2. I just read it last month and it was awesome!

Awesome review, as always! HEAT still stands as a neo-noir crime-thriller masterpiece. Mid-90s film showcases Pacino & De Niro at their most reptilian. Brilliant cinematography by legendary DP Dante Spinotti and ambient, synthetic soundtrack by Elliot Goldenthal elevate HEAT to a modern classic status. Hands down one of the greatest endings in Cinema -- with Moby's classic "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" closing it out. Thanks for screening HEAT in its correct Panavision aspect ratio...

First time commenting, long time watcher...Great reaction Miss Jen. If i may and in case you read this..., one underrated crime movie that i´m sure you´ll enjoy is Copland with Stallone, DeNiro and a stacked cast.

The actor Dennis Farina was used as a consultant on the film by Michael Mann, as he was an ex Chicago police officer.

Hands down the BEST movie of the 1990s in every possible way. Great performances, great story, great visuals, everything. Fun fact: “Heat” is actually a remake of a TV movie Michael Mann made in 1989 called “L.A. Takedown.” The original movie had the same story and some of the same characters, but Mann felt it was an unfinished project and was determined to make a better version of it. Another fun fact: Robert De Niro’s character, Neil McCauley, was a real criminal from Chicago and Al Pacino’s character, Vincent Hanna, was based on the real cop who took the real McCauley down.

Al Pacino did great stuff through the decades. But, his 70's run was brilliant. The Panic in Needle Park, The Gofather, Scarecrow, The Godfather 2, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, ....and, Justice for All.

Al Pacino's colleague Bosko is played by Ted Levine, Wild Bill from "Silence of the Lambs".

This movie is great because it's the only movie Michael Mann made twice. He made the TV movie "LA Takedown" before, after he became more famous had a chance to remake it and made the masterpiece HEAT.

I Remember My Mother 👩🏻‍🦱 Was A Huge Fan Of Al Pacino. And Robert De Niro. So, She Was In 7th Heaven When This Movie Came Out In The Movie Theaters 📽️🎟️🍿🍫🥤 In 1995! I Think 🤔 That Some Hollywood Producers Came Up With This Movie, To Team-Up Al Pacino. And Robert De Niro. In A Movie Together, Because Even Though They Were In The Godfather 2, They Did Not Share Any Screentime, Scenes Together. It Is A Shame That 28 Years Later, They Sadly, Have Not 🚫 Done Another Movie Together! I Guess That This Movie Was So Good, I Guess That They Have Not 🚫 Written ✍️ Another Great Story, Like This One!🤷🏻‍♂️

It was the late Tom Sizemore who said if anyone ever asks what that unspoken respect men have for each means...show them the final 30 seconds of Heat.

One of the greatest movies ever. Wish someone would give the massively underrated De Niro movie Midnight Run a reaction though. One of his best in my eyes.

2nd best movie ever made (behind Shawshank), and the best action scene ever filmed IMO. The bank/shootout scene is the greatest thing ever. And Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" is a favorite instrumental of mine. Michael Mann is such an amazing filmmaker, you should absolutely watch other films he's made (Collateral, Miami Vice (2006)).

Hi Jen right up there with Heat is The Town directed and staring Ben Affleck with Jeremy Renner.Its absolutely gripping.❤👍🇬🇧

The muzzle flash from gunshots do light up a room like that.

Fun Fact: Michael Mann shot this movie in the 80s using less of a budget, B-rate actors, but still felt like his vision hadn't been fully realized, so he made it again with a studio backing the film.

25:00 best dude. simpsons dude! Hank Azaria!

If I have anything resembling a spirit animal, it's definitely Vincent Hanna. And gunshots can indeed light up a room very briefly. A bullet is propelled by what is basically an explosion, albeit a very small, very confined explosion.

Oh, Miss Murray is watching Heat. The best good guy bad guy sit down in all of cinema. Jen is all the way dangerous now.

I cannot wait for Austin Powers 2, but since you asked for more DeNiro and Pacino films, I highly recommend "The Deer Hunter" and "Carlito's Way".

This movie is perfect. The director hired two former members of the SAS (Mick Gould & ‘Andy McNab’) to consult on the shootouts & give the actors weapons training.

Michael Mann RARELY disappoints, his films are amazing, the Downtown shoot out is Legendary! COLLATERAL is a really good film with Tom Cruise playing a rare Villain Role and of course it's awesome!

Saw it opening weekend, I wanted to run back in and see it again

My favorite KZfaqr/mischievous chick combined with my one of my favorite movies... It's a real good day so far. And lol, you with the music. I'd bet you be a riot to go with to a concert, musical, or an opera, you'd be moving all over the place to the beat of the percussion

22:35 The scene with Val when he does the combat reload while firing was used for several years as a textbook example for SWAT recruits in MANY States. 24:10 Yes, gunshots will light up a room like that.

the sound in this movie is perfect.

Next one for you, from the same director Michael Mann: Collateral (2004). Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise, in a superb "night in LA".

Pretty much all of Michael Mann's films are well worth the watch. You see his style in all of them and if you really to get into it deeper I highly recommend the 80s hit TV series Miami Vice 1984-1989 in which he was the showrunner. It has the perfect blend of music, fashion and style of the late 80s. A lot of famous (now and then) cameos guest star actors, musicians and athletes were in it. Basically a cop show about the wave of drugs and prostitution to the streets back then. But that statement truly under sells the show. It was very revolutionary on the way shows were done at the time. Back then it was one of the few shows that broke the legendary "Friday night time slot kills TV shows".
