Having taken the opportunity to compare my old US to this new Blu-ray, I am pleased to report that Heat in high definition blows the DVD out of the water. The VC-1 encoded transfer looks absolutely stunning at times thanks to an improvement in almost every area. The bank shoot out sequence is a case in point. The sharpness of the image hit me first; every element now looks crisp and detailed. The buildings in the background, the pedestrians running for cover, the police and their cars blocking the road ahead. Every element can be made out perfectly and without fault. Skin tones are perfectly reproduced, gone are the pale or over saturated faces seen on the DVD, in come detailed and natural looking alternatives. Finally Dante Spinotti’s gorgeous lighting and Mann’s distinct visual style can be enjoyed in all of its glory in striking 1080p.

Audio:
I was always disappointed with the DVD soundtrack and I was one who had got hold of the rare Japanese disc which came with a DTS soundtrack. Heat on Blu-ray comes equipped with a new Dolby TrueHD track and finally the film has a soundtrack that does the on screen action justice. Again taking the bank shootout sequence as an example, the sound has clearly been lifted a notch or three. The gunfire echoes around the room, a real feeling of being surrounded by buildings is achieved. Bullets tear through the body work of road blocked police cars, surrounds churn out ricochets and the fizz of bullets ripping through the air. Not only is the sequence an aural assault but the effects are realistic and never overblown. At times I found myself wincing as the gun battle raged all around me. Moving on, the finale was always a sequence which proved a test for any system as planes flew overhead before landing on the runway feet away. The new lossless track controls things like never before. Distorted bass is no more, now we have smooth, gut churning low frequencies that add another element to the brilliant ending. As a side note, I found some dialogue quite hard to hear in the first half of the film. Although the problem seemed to correct itself as the film progressed, during these moments I had to turn the volume up which was no only distracting but obviously a disappointing aspect of an otherwise superb soundtrack presentation.
