I know who Michael Mann is. I also know who Tommy Guns is. What disturbs me is that he's in a Michael Mann movie - although he's certainly not the first porn star to try and break into a mainstream film.

Johny Depp as John Dillinger? John Dillinger was the antithesis of pretty boy Depp. Thats a stretch in a big way. (I like Depp as an actor)

Which is why this is a movie, not a documentary. So I'll be more excited for a movie by the guy with the credits included above than a Transformers sequel by the director of TF and Armageddon
Heat was awesome until the end. I have trouble believing that a guy that 'together' and thorough, would turn into an idiot that fast. He was the epitomy of the calculating criminal. All he had to do was get on a plane. Certainly his patience was developed enough he could have laid low for about 5 years; long enough the 'Heat' would have been off, and the snitch would start feeling safe again. THEN he could come back, extract his revenge and be long gone again before the police knew wtf was going on. Instead, he decided that everything he had learned over the years was incorrect, and the vengeance was priority one. COMPLETELY out of character. The ending puts Heat on my list of worst movies of all time.

Not the star trek I know. But as a random space sci-fi action, fine whatever.
Also that watchman cartoon is super awesome I'd watch it
Heat, that was that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Russian Cop right? That was awesome, greatest ending ever.

For me that is part of the appeal I suppose. I look forward to seeing a fresh take on the setting. I can watch the original series anytime so it won't keep me from liking "City on The Edge of Forever" even if it turns out to be terrible. Which it might.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Guys it was humor. (doh!) Red Heat was hardly awesome, just another meat head 80's actioner. It lacks all Deniro and... other Italion American guy.
I'll remember to keep it simple for you lots in future This is the internet, if I didn't remember I would look it up

He didn't play a robot, he played a MAN. That was the whole point. That was the point of the long set-up explaining how close he was to getting away. Each of us acts "out of character" numerous times in our life.
