Phil asked about the movie "Heat":
"Without De Niro and Pacino with their usual stirling
performances, would it have flown at all?"
From what I understand, Heat was a virtual remake of a made
for TV movie/potential series pilot Michael Mann had made
several years earlier, not too long after Miami Vice.
Supposedly, critics dismissed it as "LA VIce." I haven't seen
the earlier one, but Film Threat once did a comparison that
seemed pretty convincing.
