Title: The Heat
Text type: Film
Director: Paul Feig
The film ‘The Heat’ is a film about a very formal but cocky FBI agent who is paired with a really aggressive Boston cop to take down a ruthless drug lord. The FBI agent, Sarah Ashburn, only agreed to take on this case to get a promotion. The Boston cop, Mullins, was chosen to do this case because she knew the town better than anyone else did. Sarah Ashburn and Mullins did not like each other at first because Sarah Ashburn did everything according to the defence force manual whereas Mullins just did everything her way. When Mullins finds out the actual reason why Sarah Ashburn is in Boston, she gets angry and decides to take on the case herself, because she thought that Sarah Ashburn was using the case as a breakthrough for her career, whereas Mullins just wants to solve crime and make Boston a better place to live in. When this happens, Mullins gets herself in a predicament and Sarah Ashburn saves her. This is where they learn that they really care about each other and made peace.
I thought that the relationship between Mullins and Sarah Ashburn was very interesting because they hated each other but still figured out a way to put their differences a side and solve the case. In the beginning of the film, Sarah Ashburn came across as being a very uptight person who didn’t really care about others but herself. Mullins came across as being a very aggressive know-it-all, and liked everything her way. This is shown in the scene where they’re interviewing a potential suspect. Ashburn: “Are you about to be interrogated by an officer?”
Mullins: “I am an officer and that’s my perp.”
Sarah Ashburn: “Could you just close the door on the way out.”
Mullins: “I’ll shut the door on you. Will you lay down here and put your head in the door and I’ll slam it about 157 thousand times?” I think the reason why they didn’t get along at first because they were both
