Remake of HEAT?
Category: No Category
Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang's latest job, when they briefly took a hostage - bank manager, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name...and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug - not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
This looks great - although to me a very similar film to HEAT, so close it could be a remake of HEAT. Although not necessary I do believe Affleck is a much better Director than he is an actor. It looks solid and action packed - will be keen to see this when it releases on September 17 this year.

Not an actual remake Shaun but it looks like Heat had a baby with Point Break lol

Affleck's effort with 'Gone Baby Gone" proved he has behind the camera skills that dwarf his uneven, hamming acting.
Still feels strange encouraging him in anyway beyond a Kevin Smith film.
