L.A. Takedown is kind of a lovely made for TV dry run for Heat. I haven't watched the whole thing beginning to end but from what I've seen, I don't think it'd work without the performances, cinematography and production values of Heat. Collateral is almost as good as Heat though.

This is really stupid because the early Miami Vice episodes in the first couple seasons where he had an actual influence and impact on the show actually owns. Once Dick Wolf joined the show thats when it actually went to poo poo and you can see the genesis of why all crime procedurals are loving terrible now.

Also Manhunter loving owns how was that not a massive loving hit in the 80s
Did he direct the show? I thought he only did the TV. movie. [E: brainfart]

what was the name of that movie with Ice Cube's son that was Heat 2.0?
Thieves' Den, I think
It had Gerrard Butler as the sheriff
Den of Thieves? Close enough lol. Feels like it was 10 years ago but yeah it was pretty good, though I don't think it had that Michael Mann touch or left the kind of long lasting impact. Really struggling to remember any particular scene or set piece from that movie.
