In the pantheon of Heist movies, it does not get any better than Michael Mann’s 1995’s Heat.
Yeah I know it stars that douche-nozzle De Niro but it also has the late great Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore, so it evens out.
Michael Mann’s movies are known for intense firearm realism, not only in their manual of arms but also in the tactics used. This can be seen in the massive downtown L.A. gun battle in Heat which was choreographed by an ex-SAS Commando. Pay attention to the mag changes and verbal commands as they leapfrog. Spot On.
You can also see some nifty TT&P in Thief (1981), Collateral (2004) and Miami Vice (2006).
Anyways, the guys over at Forgotten Weapons decided to make the bank shootout in Heat into a Course of Fire, complete with 88 lb. bags of “money” đź¤
