Now, we don't want to accuse anyone of anything but we'd bet the house that Christian Gudegast, writer and director of 2018 action thriller Den of Thieves, is a huge fan of Heat.
Who isn't, in fairness? Den of Thieves is basically a 'nowhere near as good' clone but it is nonetheless highly entertaining thanks to committed performances from Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber and O'Shea Jackson Jr.
And then you have the whole 'heist' element, which is done quite well. You know how this one works – good guy and bad guy who are almost the same person clash. Violence and twists ensue.
