Query: Michael Mann isn't quite the man....

The main problem with this movie is that it is too long: all the key events in the movie are stretched too far in between. I realize that the director most likely wanted to present an uber-realistic 3 hours of an epic story, which would also explain the lackluster and ho-hum dialogue. If the director only cut more of the fat, HEAT could have been a worthy addition to the crime-noir genre rather than a see-saw ride from peaks of non-stop firefights to sedative dialogue.
