Mann is one of the best directors around, so it's interesting to catch some of his early 'Miami Vice' phase work. The film is virtually scene-for-scene the same as it's Mann re-make "Heat". It also comes with a more user-friendly running time than it's remake. Ultimately it's a TV movie, and the fact that not one of the actors went onto international acclaim won't come as a surprise.
