The verdict

Audiences rate it 7.9 out of 10 on TMDB across 8,609 votes — a strong score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$130. The cheapest seat is at PREMIERE ELEMENTS in Tsim Sha Tsui, HK$130. Category IIB · 170 minutes.

What it is about

Obsessive master thief Neil McCauley leads a top-notch crew on various daring heists throughout Los Angeles while determined detective Vincent Hanna pursues him without rest. Each man recognizes and respects the ability and the dedication of the other even though they are aware their cat-and-mouse game may end in violence.

What to expect

Michael Mann’s 1995 crime saga returns in a 4K restoration. At 170 minutes, it tracks master thief Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) across a series of Los Angeles heists, each man sharpening his obsession against the other. The movie is built around long, quiet scenes of procedure and domestic fallout, interrupted by short, deafening bursts of violence — the downtown street shootout remains one of the loudest sequences ever mixed. The restoration is playing at a single cinema this week, with one screening, standard format only. Tickets start at HK$130. Category IIB. English audio, traditional Chinese subtitles.

“Heat” directed by Michael Mann is a crime epic based on the exploits of real life criminal Neil McCauley.  Although mostly fictional, with the events and character having real life basis, Mann is able to elevate this crime drama above other films in a similar genre.  Robert De Niro plays Neil McCauley, a knowledgable experienced criminal who’s skill set includes playing cat and mouse with the police. After a robbery ends in a street gunfight McCauley and his gang manage to evade the police. […]

Partly I'm disappointed in myself for taking so long to watch _Heat_ because it's such a massive influence on one of the best movies ever (_The Dark Knight_), and one my favourite video games ever (_Payday: The Heist_). Mostly though, I'm disappointed in myself for taking so long to watch _Heat_ because I've denied myself for so long the privilege of having seen such a great fucking crime movie. _Final rating:★★★★ - An all round good movie with a little something extra._
