It's the season finale, which means two things: it's the last episode for a little while (stay tuned to the very end for more on how long that might be) and we've got to go out with a bang.
Few people are aware that Heat, Michael Mann's epic crime drama, is itself a remake of an earlier Michael Mann film: LA Takedown, which was originally shot to be a TV pilot and was released as a TV movie. Even fewer have ever seen it and it is this that we are discussing on this episode.
LA Takedown was made on a fraction of Heat's budget, but with a script that has word-for-word passages that were recycled for the later film. It's probably no secret that it's not up to the quality of the remake, but does it work on its own terms? The answer is not as straightforward as it may seem.
And then, the big one, the grandaddy: Heat has become one of the most influential crime films of the last few decades, from Den of Thieves to The Town to The Dark Knight, Michael Mann's way with action, dialogue, visuals, sounds and heists is legendary. So strap in, cos we're going deep on this one.
