What is the pop culture phenomenon - movie, TV show or musical artist - that everyone loves but you just don’t get? Normally, I save my Tuesday Nightcaps Question of the Week (trademark pending) for later on in the column, but today we’re starting with exactly that. Three hours later, kids, my socks were still on. But with a lineup of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer - that movie should have knocked my socks off.
And for a movie about heists, there was barely any heisting going on.Īnd it’s not lost on me this film has one of the heaviest-hitting casts of all time. Just a bunch of underdeveloped plot lines and irrelevant melodrama. That three hours could have been cut in half. So after a four-mile hike through the woods and an afternoon at the range, my husband and I sat down with a 9-pack of Miller Lite to watch this three-hour-long, action-packed crime drama. The headlines of the reviews say things like, Masterful on All Counts, Action Masterpiece, The Best Character Film of All Time. “Heat” has an 8.3/10 on IMDb and a 94 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. But after sitting through some mediocre-at-best movies recently, I wanted one that could not miss.
I mean like when there’s a movie or TV show that everyone is jazzed about - they can’t stop raving about it - and you thought it was just… meh? And I don’t mean like you’ve forgotten your wallet or you’re wondering why a non-white Indian “white supremacist” drove an empty U-Haul truck into a White House barricade and then laid out his Nazi flag for a convenient photo-op.
