We fangirls be getting our panties in a twist because, it's unthinkable, things aren't going our way!
Calling this movie Heat is reasonable because it's based on a book with the same name? Pah! Don't make me laugh! My favouritest movie is called like that so NOBODY, NOBODY GET'S TO USE IT! NOT ON MY WATCH!
And don't you at least know that my imaginary majority of movie viewers would be tricked by the title, be infuriated by this intentionally misleading steaming pile of crap?! Don't you?!?
No matter how you dress up your whine with fancy words and bs arguments, that's what it sounds like, cause that's what it is: just plain silly.
On a side note, I'm looking forward to this one.
You do know that Michael Manns movie Heat is a remake of his own movie with the original title L.A Takedown right? so when he made the remake of his own movie he borrowed or stole the title Heat from the Burt Reynolds movie...so why shoudlnt they use the real name of book that this movie is based on? But it doesnt matter anymore...they seem to listen to all you Michael Mann fanboys and changed the name of the this movie to Wild Card instead...
~If the realistic details fails, the movie fails~
I don't think it really matters. I guess its because Manns movie was 19 years ago and we still all hold it in high regards. Its a emotional reason, and I guess there may be logic to it if people come into this without the right expectations thinking that its a remake of Manns, and realizing it isn't.
shareThis movie is a remake of the 1979 movie "Heat" with Burt Reynolds.
Line for line, scene for scene, an exact replica. I watched Heat today, and I don't think they even bothered to re-write the script for Wildcard. It is a complete ripoff-remake of Heat. The action scenes are of course better with Jason; Burt was no mixed martial artist, but that's the only difference in the two movies.
I was pretty disappointed to discover this today. Hollywood doesn't have an original bone left in it's body.
