Joaquin U @Joaquin1 Aug 30, 2026 Entertaining. An action flick with all the over‑the‑top 80s violence and nonsense. Reynolds is always fun to watch. The rest of the cast does the job. Direction and script are mediocre—especially disappointing given it came from William Goldman. If you’re after light thrills and a glimpse of old Vegas, it works fine as a dinner movie.

A farrago at best See more Robert J @RT92737870 Dec 19, 2024 The 1986 "Heat" is good Movie. I like Burt Reynolds role as down on his luck las vegas gambler with some special skills. His survival & military skills allows him to make a living as body gaurd . His skills also allows him to walk on the dark side as a vegas problem solver.

See more May 19, 2015 I couldn't remember for sure if I'd ever seen this Burt Reynolds vehicle before or not, but after the opening scene I realized I had seen it before. However, after competing my rewetting of the film, I now realize why I didn't remember the film. It's a completely forgettable crime flick. Burt is a PI/Bagman/Fixer of sorts who helps a hooker get revenge on a sleepy rich guy and also helps another rich guy toughen up. That set up isn't terrible, but the film unfolds in a meandering fashion that's completely uninteresting and seems to go nowhere, which is a surprise since the film was written by the great William Goldman who wrote such classics as "Marathon Man," "Misery" and "The Princess Bride." The film is mostly disappointing because I do think it had the potential to be a strong vehicle for Burt. See more Read all reviews
