Where to Watch L.A. Takedown
- DisentOctober 16, 2025Great movie, hits all the highs from Heat only is much more low key as you would expect from a made for TV budget. I actually found the actor playing the detective much more convincing than Al Pacino's detective character from Heat, who was not intimidating at all, more of a joke. This feels gritty and real despite the budget and ahead of it's time, the style feels more early 90's than late 80's, worth a shot if you can find it.
