Customer Ratings & Reviews

Incredible film. Quite worthy of the 4KUltraHD treatment. Michael Mann is working on a sequel/prequel, so this is the time to reinvest with once of the greatest crime films of the 20th century.

The Most excellent MOVIE ! Great actors for this movie. Most Excellent use of pew pew in this movie. Would be excellent if they have HEAT 2 !

If you haven’t seen this film, do it now! They literally use it to train people on the best way to reload in a gun fight. It’s that good.

This movie is one of the greats. Having it in 4K just gives the best home video and audio experience. Movies shot on film can get this treatment and actually have improvement.

Fantastic transfer of an incredible movie. Huge huge step up from that super super old DVD copy I have had for 25 years. Some of the best audio in movie history.

A classic action movie with some of the best actors around all in 1 movie, also in 4K, buy it, watch it and you will enjoy every second.

This film is amazing and it still holds up today. The shootout at the end is well worth the purchase price, especially if you have surround sound. Great cast

Great movie!! One of my favorites!! Great cast Deniro, Pacino, Tom Sizemore, and Val Kilmer!! How could you go wrong?!!

One of the best bank heist movies set in Los Angeles. The film "Den of Thieves" tries to copy "Heat" but this is still the gold standard for this type of film.

I have always been a huge fan of this movie and to upscale it to 4K was a great idea. There are heavy hitters in acting in this movie and everyone nailed the part.

Cast is great and the story is interesting. Definately up there with the likes of classic scorcese movies but you dont hear about it much anymore. Looks and sounds great.

Heat is cops and robbers for grown ups. It has action, and it is intense, but it isn't a modern action movie. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but anyone looking for THAT with THIS movie is going to be very disappointed. This movie takes its time. There's barely any action in the first two hours of its runtime. The film takes its time to introduce us to the characters, their lives, their dreams (or lack there of) and how regular, every day life pulls them further and further away from where they thought they would be. The film engages you to bring you closer to its characters so that quiet moments have significance and we feel the intensity, dread and concern that each one does for their own situation. Al Pachino's character is "good" but does bad things. Robert DeNiro's character is "bad" but does good things. Val Kilmer is loyal and clever, but does some awful things on the domestic front. The three dimensionality of the characters is critical because when the third hour kicks in with an action sequence (is it a spoiler to say there's a bank robbery in a cops and robbers film...? I don't think so...), the sequence is successful in part because of its technical merits (it's extremely well shot and paced) but more so because we know these characters and relate to both sides beyond "good" and "evil." The final act is not non-stop action, but it has several intense sequences leading all the way to the end. It almost feels like a different movie in its back half, and some may feel it's a reward for sitting through the much slower first half, but the truth is that neither side functions without the other. Heat is also not a new film, so it's likely anyone checking it out has already seen it or - at least - heard of it. If you haven't done either then you should consider: 1) do you like movies with characters who are opposed on the surface but less so in their characterizations? 2) do you like law enforcement movies with obsession as a theme front and center? 3) do you like classic movies (yes, it's almost 30 years old...)...? If you even consider "yes" for 1 or more of these questions, I'd recommend checking this movie out. Now, the set. Brand New 4K transfer...that is REALLY dark. Have a good set up because while the transfer holds up mostly well, it is dark. Darker than the previous warner and 20th century 1080 Blu Ray transfers were (although research on this edition seems to indicate that the 4K transfer is from the same source, which was mastered at 2K so...who knows?). It certainly looks good if more than a bit gray in its color palate. Dynamic Range (between light and dark scenes) is quite wide and although there is some softness, its probably due to the source rather than a mastering error...grain is present throughout but not excessive. It looks like a film, not a digital output (which is good considering digital wasn't a significant thing yet when this film came out...) The Blu Ray Discs (1 movie + 1 extra) included in the package are the same as the prior 20th century fox discs, so if you're future proofing your collection and you have the prior 20th Century Fox release you will get it again here. All extras are transfered over and you get a really nice assortment including approx. 4 hours of supplements in addition to the commentary over the film. There is a slipcover in its first pressing - I got one. Always a nice bonus for those that care about things like that... All and all, this is a very solid 4K release (not a demo release but there's nothing in the film that would lead you to think it should be...) and an overall great presentation of an unusual, engaging and interesting film in term of tech specs (audio/video) plus extras. It's not for everyone (not for kids, not just for the violence and language but for the overall pace). Don't expect a big triumphant positive ending but rather one that will leave you thinking and even sad...and you're good to go.

This was a great movie, definitely will watch again. 4K transfer was well done and with that cast of actors made this great.

All time classic…Pacino, Deniro! Intelligent script, layered plots, incredible action sequences, great acting, and visionary director helming this epic tale

Excellent quality and price. I preordered it for in store pick up that was very easy there was signage in the store where to pick up the order.

Great Movie and Great 4k transfer. Some parts of the movie are a little dark but I believe that is equivalent to every other release of Heat.

One of the best crime dramas ever and one of my all time favorite movies ever! The picture and sound quality are amazing.

Great movie! Have not seen in 10 years on dvd. The 4k is worth it, especially at 8.99! Of course all the classic actors at their best, with an incredible story.

Picked this up for $7.99 and it was well worth it. Restoration has this 90's crime classic looking fantastic.

This movie gets a bad rap on 4k. I thought it looked pretty good. If you can get it under 11 bucks like I did. Take the shot it's not that bad really.
