... but not a patch on 'Heat' (1995).
'L.A. Takedown' shows what a top-drawer director like Mann can do within the confines of TV production.
However, I prefer to see it now as a blueprint for the far superior 'Heat'. The fact that the remake was made by the same director means he feels the same. 'Heat' may be shot-for-shot but 'Psycho' (1998) it sure ain't.
