Some of the shoot outs in [[Mesrine: Killer Instinct]] are on the epic scale similar to Heat; it certainly has a very prolonged shootout involving a variety of different weapons. This is the true story of a famous French bank robber, and his exploits in France and later in Canada. The final shootout of the 1st film is quite spectacular, and is surely the only time in history where an escaped prisoner comes back to rescue his fellow inmates, M16 in hand (remember this is a true story!). Worth checking out this not too famous film... | Some of the shoot outs in [[Mesrine: Killer Instinct]] are on the epic scale similar to Heat; it certainly has a very prolonged shootout involving a variety of different weapons.

Is it just me or does this look like Heat, only with mostly black guys? Here's Wikipedia's take, for what its worth: A group of professional bank robbers, who specialize in spectacular robberies, are pulled into one last job by a recently paroled cohort only to be pitted against a hard-boiled detective who interrupts their heist. If that's not Heat, then i don't know what is.
For a minute, I was looking for the scene in The Losers where the team walks away as a helicopter explodes, but then I realized that Idris Elba is in both movies and that scene is from this film. --Ben41 21:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Who called this the new Heat?
Seriously, someone told me that articles are writing this as the Heat of this generation and that just made me cringe. The cast just didn't have the legendary status that De Niro and Al Picino had back then and they had too many named cast members unlike Heat. And really, the Heat of the recent generation would be Public Enemies which was directed by Micheal Mann.Excalibur01 17:04, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
But come on on! Walker is almost like a de niro (note sarcasm)...Heat is in its own right and really i would like to believe only a independent movie could reach that magnatude. But Public Enemies?...i guess if you could stay awake long enough it could maybe be a little like heat...kinda. If anything can be compared to heat right now i think it would be The Town with jermy remmer--Spades of Columbia 17:34, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
