The best scene in The Heat is also the most daring. A man begins choking in the restaurant our hero cops happen to be eating in, and they must save him. When the Heimlich manoeuvre fails, one of our heroes slits his throat with a kitchen knife and jams a straw in the wound in an attempt to perform an emergency tracheotomy. Blood spurts everywhere, the characters react with horror and confusion. It's gory, it's gross and most importantly, it's funny. It also has no relation to anything that comes before or after, a symptom of a film that's a series of variably funny sketches rather than a compelling narrative.
