Heat
A pretty titanic ride. Kinda loses its footing a bit after the big heist goes awry, and yet the best beats of the whole thing are still scattered across that final third. Every time I was beginning to fade a practically electric scene would roll up and reel me back in. 596
Do I still think it could have been served well by a slightly more judicious cut or perhaps, more importantly, a more economically-structured screenplay? Sure. But what it does it does so immensely well it’s hard to argue with its effectiveness as is.
<PERSON> is so fucking funny, dude. He’s just out here losing his mind scene after scene and everyone around him has to act normal about it. A perfect performance.
