But Eady (played by "Judging Amy" star Amy Brennerman) makes McCauley forget his own words of wisdom.

    After stalking and studying Neil McCauley for some time, Detective Vincent Hanna begins to respect and even admire his adversary.

      watch Hanna's television. Vincent Hanna is too absorbed by his job ever to be a loving or attentive husband, and his wife Justine resents that.

      "I told you I'm never going back.". As McCauley lays dying, he extends his hand to Hanna, who takes it and holds it. McCauley had already spent 10 years of his life in prison, and he found death preferable to another stretch at San Quentin.

    What rap star appears in this movie? Heat

      Tone Loc. Tone Loc plays Richard, the brother of an informant who delivers some indirect information about Michael Cheritto, with whom he did time. Richard states to Vincent Hanna that Michael calls everyone "Slick". The name "Slick' was given to the police as the name of one of the robbers in the armored car heist at the beginning of the film.

      peacock. This tattoo is brought up, and moments later they flash to Det. Casals reading Cheritto's file to Hanna. They show a mug shot of Cheritto with his tattoo to confirm this information is accurate.

    What does Hanna say to McCauley when he pulls him over on the highway? Heat

      "How about I buy you a cup of coffee?". This is the beginning of a great scene where we see McCauley and Hanna square off in a little mind game with each other. While having coffee, both of them acknowledge they have weaknesses but will put the other one down without thinking about it.
