To me, this movie is perfection.

Absolutely Fantastic

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

"L.A. Heat" is one of my all-time favorite TV shows from the 90's. It has a very interesting and intriguing story line, many intense action scenes, good humor, impressive locations etc. Many people compare this series to the Lethal Weapon franchise. Well, I consider it as a TV version of Lethal Weapon.The cast did a great job too. Wolf Larson was brilliant as Det. Chester 'Chase' McDonald. Yes, he reminded me of Mel Gibson's Martin Riggs. Believe me, Chase was as great as Riggs. Steven Williams, Renee Tenison, Dawn Eason and Kenneth Tigar were no less impressive.The main theme is another achievement of this show. Even nowadays it sounds very fresh. BRAVO!! There is only one bad thing about this show - it was canceled! It deserved way more than 2 seasons.Brilliant but so underrated series!!!

I don't think anyone would ever accuse 'LA Heat' of being a dark, emotional cop drama on the calibre of 'Law and Order' but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. The series centred on LA detectives August Brooks and Chase McDonald as they track down criminals resulting in many car chases and shoot outs.The show relies very much on a 'Lethal Weapon' formula where Brooks is the older, black cop who is more mature and laid back while McDonald is the young, reckless white cop whose over-energetic ways often requiring reining in by his veteran partner. The two leads, Steven Williams as Brooks and Wolf Larson as McDonald, have a great rapport and portray their characters in a likable manner.'LA Heat' often does pushes the boundaries of realism with the number of car chases, shootings and explosions shown every episodes but that's what makes it fun. It doesn't pretend to be deep and dark and instead revels in light-hearted action, excitement and humour. Definitely a must for fans of 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Bad Boys'.

Among all those who try to imitate the high-octane action andhumor of the "Lethal Weapon" films, by far the afternoon-TV copdrama "L.A. Heat" is the most successful. This show is almost acarbon copy of the hit movies that starred Mel Gibson and DannyGlover, because "L.A. Heat" is practically using the samecharacteristc format. You have two cops, black and white,ridding the city of Los Angeles of crime. The white cop is wackyand cool, while his African-American partner is more laid-backand careful in their jobs. Even though this show can be terribly cliched, "L.A. Heat"stands out as a really good show thanks to the rapid-fire actionand the excellent chemistry between the two leads, played byWolf Larson and Steven Williams. This show has so muchexplosions, car chases, and shoot-outs, it almost gives "LethalWeapon" a run for its money, almost as if the original has beenundone by the carbon copy. A discriminating viewer mightconsider "L.A. Heat" to be a bit hokey because of the manyoutrageous action sequences (cars flying up to 30ft in the airafter a collision, a whole building blowing up to smithereens).Reality basically has no call in this show, compared to othercop dramas like "NYPD Blue" or "Homicide," where outrageousoccurences barely happen in those shows! So, if you're in themood for good, mindless fun regarding a couple of cool cops,"L.A. He

"L.A. Heat" is the most action-packed television series, and the most enjoyable of all not-too-realistic series, I've ever seen. Each episode is full of feature film-quality stunts. I've never seen so many cars flipped, rolled, or blown up on one series! This puts all other cop/detective shows to shame (in terms of adrenaline). Wolf Larson and Steven Williams are dynamite together, and I'd love to see a feature film version. Enjoy!
