In my previous review (which you can read here) I said that Red Heat had become 'something of a perennial in the post pub closing time ITV schedules on a Friday night'

Sure enough, here it is again; on a Friday night just a week shy of a year since ITV last broadcast it. I've little to add to my last review except this: Gina Gershon is not only still very pretty here, but she also looks a lot like the Frank era (ie young and healthy) Amy Winehouse. Seriously, Google search images if you don't believe me.

You only need to look at my past activity on here regarding this one (I've watched and reviewed it four times now) to appreciate that this is the only Mike Leigh film that I didn't initially get on my first watch. With each passing rewatch I've found that it's grown on me more and more, but there is still one thing I remain resolute about....

CARL DAVIS' SCORE IS ALL TOO OFTEN FUCKING INTRUSIVE, CLUMSY, OVERLY COMICAL AND DOWNRIGHT MISPLACED!
