The Heat

They're just trying to stay alive long enough to kill each other.


The Heat
Another mismatched cop-buddy film, this time featuring two female protagonists. An uptight FBI Special Agent has to team up with a foul-mouthed Boston cop to bring down a ruthless drug lord. As per the normal arc for such films, they become buddies. Expect a lot of bad language, as well as the possibility of people walking out.

117 minutes.
No persons under 16 (Language, Violence).

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

This is what I need to look good.
