    Two character immediately infordumping to each other as if that’s how humans normally communicate.

    “Are you ready? This is going to be a hard job. As you know, they’ve tightened security but we got a man on the inside. As long as does his job then it’s smooth sailing.”

    “I was born ready. Eveeything will be fine as long as the shipment is on time. As you know, we put a tracker on the lead car and I can watch exactly where it is from this device in real-time.”

      Compare this to the bank robbery opening in Dark Knight haha.

      I’ve never seen Heat, but I’ve also never seen any newer movies top that scene since.

        Oh, please watch Heat if for no other reason than the sound work. Nobody tell him what I mean by that.

        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.

            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.

          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)
