Roger Ebert

These characters can do that. Not that it saves them.

Variety

"Rarely in the crime genre have so many characters been so deeply drawn, and only occasionally has there been this kind of grand, even philosophical view of lawless behavior."

Loud And Clear Reviews

Michael Mann’s style of filmmaking is entertaining, combining moody, existential criminal character studies with a good dose of clean and slick action sequences.

Empire

Heat proves one thing absolute. If you put great actors in a great script with a great visionary director in control, then you get a great movie.

IMDb

One of my five favorite films of all time, Heat is a cinematic banquet of intense imagery and pulse-pounding action.

Rotten Tomatoes

Like Kubrick, Mann takes a genre premise that seems like no big deal, and expands it into a cosmos of its own.

IMDb

This sprawling, rambling, overlong, ultimately anticlimactic film is marred throughout by one of the more irritating clichés of cop dramas.
