The Heat - Review

First off from seeing the trailer I believe 1.1 million times in theater, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what the film will probably be like from those trailers.  Surprisingly, I found myself a tad wrong and was in for a different ride during the film.  The plot and story was very much just a “good cop, bad cop” story, nothing special.  But it was original, might i add.  However, Melissa McCarthy absolutely stole the show with her astonishing actions and humorous acts during the film.  She is one actress I love, love, love watching.  She is a character.  Between this and “Identity Thief” which sucked, she has become the white female version of Madea in these few films.  I LOVE IT.  I am a big Madea fan, oh heller.  However, Sandra Bullock is quite a good looking cougar, but her performance in this film was very boring to watch.  She appeared to be very much a typical ordinary cop who had tactics to be a good cop, but was very annoying and dragged out her dialog and actions to slowly.  I was impressed with the plot twist at the end of this film.  I won’t discuss anymore.  If this film, didn’t have Melissa McCarthy in it, it probably would have gotten a much lower grade in my book.  Also, the film’s length of roughly two hours, i thought was a little to much and needed to be cut by about 15 minutes.

Rating - 2.5/5
