Heat 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  4.0 of 5

Disney's dark, smooth SteelBook will show some handling fingerprints. The front panel is very dark and very blue. The film's title appears across the bottom center in the familiar fade-to-gray type. Pacino, De Niro, Kilmer, and Mann's names appear above and below. "Director's Definitive Edition" text appears below the title. At the top are the De Niro and Pacino characters, left and right respectively, with a vertical black line separating them. The former is looking to the left, the latter facing forward. The rear panel follows the same basic color scheme. It's essentially blank beyond five figures scattered along the bottom third, each casting a long shadow. Some studio logos and legalese appear along the bottom in off-white.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The three discs, one UHD and two Blu-ray, are situated as follows: one disc on the left on its own hub and two on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a very stark dark-to-light-to-dark distant city panorama. A lone figure stands on the right.

Heat 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.5 of 5

This embodies the "stylishly cool" SteelBook, both in look and color scheme. Its simplicity is very attractive and welcome. The movie and the UHD presentation are excellent. Very highly recommended.
