Heat is an A film 

The Town is a really solid B+ film

Isn't the Town pretty much a ripoff of Heat?

A good one mind you, but this is like asking who do you like better Led Zeppelin or the Led Zeppelin tribute band.


This is why movie reviews on this board often times cannot, should not, be taken seriously.

This is interesting.

Mann originally planned to add gunshots to the audio in post-production. But when he tried to do so, he didn’t feel like it sounded real enough, so he kept the audio as is.


I always wondered about this. Surprised the city let them shoot this scene. It must have sounded like a warzone for days.

The Town was adapted from a novel and Heat was a remake of a TV show episode which was based on a real cop.

Affleck, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Pete Postlewaite, et al. And I like the story better.

Isn't there an early scene where Affleck is actually watching Heat ( the scene where they plan to sell the bonds back to the guy in the white dually at the old drive in theater) and he just smirks at the tv?

I just watched The Town for the first time this weekend.

As much as I love The Town, Heat is an all timer.
