The Heat (2013)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2013
Director: Paul Feig (Bad Teacher)
Actors: Sandra Bullock (Speed, Gravity), Michael McDonald, Melissa McCarthy (The Hangover part 3)
Country: USA
Genre: Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 10.11.2013, HD VOD, Home cinema
Synopsis: Special FBI agent Ashburn (Bullock) is the best. But to prove that she can also work in a team (and get promoted), she will be forced to team up with the Boston local police officer Mullins (McCarthy) to arrest a drug lord.
Review: As often with this kind of movie you see most of the best jokes in the trailer. The comedy revolves around the odd couples formed by the uptight Ashburn and the vulgar Mullins.
I found it funny sometimes, but often over the top. It is however interesting to see Sandra Bullock in this kind of comedy (like many she has done in the past years) just after watching Gravity in which she plays a character totally different, and in which you see she is a good actress. You don't have much opportunity to see that in The Heat.
Rating: 5 /10
