It's been all over the news here. LA is famous for it's high-line heists. I believe a lot of this has to do with how sprawled out the city is, a lot of good escape routes. We also had a $100 million jewelry heist go down 2 years ago, a crime that remains unsolved
Yes LA has a history Mann's Heat was based one those brazen heists.
Mann's commitment to authenticity is evident in every frame of that film, from the meticulously planned heists to the high-pressure showdowns between the criminals and law enforcement. Eddie Bunker was one of Mann's advisors during production
Yes Reservoir Dogs is another one although we only see the mess after the heist LOL. Have you read No Beast So Fierce or his other novels? They say it's realistic hard-boiled stuff.
