Heat
Gonna do rapid fire takes as disjointed as this film was:
- god I wish they kept Hana’s cocaine addiction in
- love Val Kilmer
- De Niro was by far the strongest performance in an extremely stacked cast, that’s my GOAT
- love Spinotti’s cinematography, not as stylistic as Manhunter but effective for Heat
- again referencing the only other Mann film I’ve seen, female characters are slightly more evolved than Manhunter
- something about the way this was edited reminds me of when I’m streaming something with ads and the ad cuts out like five seconds of the video when it restarts, like I felt as if I was missing crucial scenes for the narrative
- Mann is just too on the nose thematically speaking
- bank robbery sequence is incredible movie magic
