And as we know, based on a true story.

PS - I think I remember seeing the shootout on the news as it happened.

The north hollywood shootout - Feb 1997.

Completely nuts.

Interestingly, that took place AFTER heat debuted in 1995.
Perhaps reality followed fiction in this case.

It's actually based on two true stories.

Here's the other one:

Factual basis. Heat is based on the true story of Neil McCauley, a calculating criminal and ex-Alcatraz inmate who was tracked down by Detective Chuck Adamson in 1964. In 1961, McCauley was transferred from Alcatraz to McNeil, as mentioned in the film.

Woah, had no idea.
I guess his name was already a perfect fit

Also from the film Heat: Nate, who was the character Jon Voight played, is based on former career criminal turned writer and actor Edward Bunker, who played Mr. Blue in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.

I saw Gray Man on Netflix last night. We didn't like it very much. It was a bit over the top.

If you like a lot of action and fight scenes, give it a try.

Her accent is still somewhat there, but her performance and the movie still looks great.

I considered watching that movie. Maybe I'll check it out this weekend.

I think the actress that stars in Gray Man is also playing Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. Cuba/Spanish actress having a very busy year!

Let us know what you think if you decide to watch it.

Will do! I may watch both while on my double shift tomorrow. Did you watch "Blonde" yet?

Hahaha! My blonde will be in Palm Springs with her two minions, so I'll be left to my own devices (…which means binge watching television, pizza, cookies & cream ice cream, gym and a lil' Capoeira/BJJ).

Damn, you know how to spend time alone and you drive a Porsche. It's good to be you!

I'm an introvert truly. People wear me out. Lol!

Watched The Man From Toronto tonight on Netflix. Was a decent movie, nothing crazy but it was great to pass the time with.

Yes, it's Ana de Armas in both. Will probably watch Blonde when it comes to my TV. May pass on The Gray Man, though.

^^ Although I bet I've sat through worse. lol

Just learned that Blonde won't air until September after some film award event.

Only the trailer for now.

[OkieSnuffBox]

Watched "The Most Hated Man on the Internet" last night. 3 part doc about the guy who ran that revenge porn site in the early 2010s.

He was a real piece of s---.

I'll disagree. Her accent really stands out in the trailer. VERY pretty lady but she is miscast, this role has Scarlett Johannson written ALL over it.
