Robert J Dec 19 The 1986 "Heat" is good Movie. I like Burt Reynolds role as down on his luck las vegas gambler with some special skills. His survival & military skills allows him to make a living as body gaurd . His skills also allows him to walk on the dark side as a vegas problem solver.

But the line between those two aspects is fairly entertaining if you enjoy things like men in shiny brocade sport coats with shoulder pads, jokes based on men who wear toupees, and marvelling at Burt Reynolds being a fortune hunter who specialises in "sharps" - meaning he takes people down with like a credit card - it's insane. High points are the drama of the blackjack table and the low point is the makeup department that made facial lacerations and bruises look like a giant, festering (hard to look at) cold sore.

See more 05/19/2015 I couldn't remember for sure if I'd ever seen this Burt Reynolds vehicle before or not, but after the opening scene I realized I had seen it before. However, after competing my rewetting of the film, I now realize why I didn't remember the film. It's a completely forgettable crime flick. Burt is a PI/Bagman/Fixer of sorts who helps a hooker get revenge on a sleepy rich guy and also helps another rich guy toughen up. That set up isn't terrible, but the film unfolds in a meandering fashion that's completely uninteresting and seems to go nowhere, which is a surprise since the film was written by the great William Goldman who wrote such classics as "Marathon Man," "Misery" and "The Princess Bride." The film is mostly disappointing because I do think it had the potential to be a strong vehicle for Burt.

Just based on one of the most classic death scenes in history involving a light bulb, the merit of this awesome movie stands above. That it was meant to be serious defines its camp value. If you don't love it, it's probably YOU that is lame. See more Read all reviews
