LA Takedown = Mann's blueprint for Heat
17 November 1998 | by (Aberystwyth) – See all my reviews

This is the original version of what we now know as the modern classic Heat. If you watch LA Takedown and Heat, you will see many of the scenes paralleled. LA Takedown is not a great movie, but it does make an interesting companion to its superior counterpart. Worth watching for this reason alone.
