Taking the Heat is quite the interesting piece from 1993. The film dives right into tension, as you follow Michael Norell, a character thrown into chaos after witnessing a murder. The pacing is tight, keeping you engaged with the constant threats from the assassins. The atmosphere is gritty, typical of early 90s TV movies, and there's something to be said about the practical effects—nothing flashy, but they get the job done while enhancing the stakes. Performances are decent, especially from the cop trying to keep Norell safe. It explores themes of fear and the reluctance to stand up for what’s right, all wrapped in a relentless chase that makes it distinctive in the genre.
