Book Reviews of Heat (BFI Modern Classics)
Book Review: Another Solid BFI Offering
Summary: 4 Stars
A "Modern Classic" indeed, Heat definitely deserves a whole book, and Nick James does a good job of chugging through its nearly three hours of plot while still being insightful.
I would have loved some more shot-by-shot breakdowns of scenes because of Mann's craftmanship with the lens, but James is more concerned with the angst of the single-minded male protagonists. James also continues an odd trend I have noticed in modern film books of quoting movie dialogue incorrectly.
By the way, Heat looks awesome on Blu-ray!
