All Michael Mann films.

And is seen as a prototype for Heat. The focus on a ‘good’ professional criminal. Focus on skills and process.

As did I, it was good, it felt a little rushed at the end. B or B+ sounds right
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

The great part about the book, is that when you've seen the movie A thousand times like I have you can already visualize the characters, their mannerisms, etc. I thought it would be gimmicky, but it really comes to life like no other book I've read.

I thought LA Takedown was the prototype for HEAT. Thief was a great flick in it's own right.
As for Heat 2, I enjoyed it. Alot of fun, good character budling and tied into the movie very well IMHO.

Yes, but.

Michael Mann’s “Heat” (1995) is widely considered a cinematic masterpiece. Not only do we follow as L.A. detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) chases ultra-disciplined thief Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) across the city, but we also dip into the lives of characters tangential to that pursuit—wives, daughters, hustlers, marks, cops, and criminals who are often fully realized despite having relatively little screen-time.
Like many masterpieces, “Heat” didn’t emerge fully formed. You could argue that much of Mann’s cinematic career up to that point was a rehearsal of sorts, allowing him to work on character and story points.
This progression begins in 1981, when Mann released “Thief,” his first foray into feature films. The titular criminal, Frank (played by James Caan), has a reputation for pulling off complex, high-risk scores.
