==Plot==
[[FBI agent]] Sarah Ashburn is an expert investigator in [[New York City]]. She is disliked by other agents for her uptight and arrogant personality. Her supervisor, who is considering her for promotion, assigns her to a mission in [[Boston]]. She meets [[Boston Police Department]] detective Shannon Mullins, who is skilled but loudmouthed, foul mouthed and hot-headed. The two women's professional styles clash horribly during their attempt to interrogate a local drug dealer. Ashburn reluctantly agrees to work with Mullins.

Ashburn and Mullins tail a local nightclub manager to his business, Club Ekko, and place a [[Covert listening device|bug]] on his phone to get information on a drug lord named Simon Larkin. Leaving the club, Ashburn and Mullins are confronted by [[Drug Enforcement Administration|DEA]] agents Craig and Adam, who have been working the Larkin case for months. The women discover a surveillance video in the DEA agents' van showing that Mullins' brother, Jason, recently released from prison whom Mullins had sent him, appears to be connected to Larkin.

Ashburn convinces Mullins to go to her parents' home to ask Jason for information on Larkin. The whole family is angry with Mullins for arresting her brother, but Jason tips Mullins off about the body of a murdered drug dealer. Chemicals on the victim's shoes lead the women to an abandoned paint factory, where they witness a drug dealer being murdered by Julian Vincent, second-in-command of Larkin's organization. They apprehend Julian after a confrontation with the nightclub manager, but get no information on Larkin's whereabouts, despite Mullins threatening to shoot Julian's genitals.

The women spend the evening bonding in a bar. A drunk Ashburn reveals that her [[foster child]]'s past is to blame for her bad attitude. The next morning Ashburn discovers that she has given her car away to one of the bar patrons, but when he starts the car, it explodes.

Julian has escaped from custody and intends to harm Mullins' family, so Mullins moves them into a motel. Jason tries to join the Larkin organization in an attempt to help Mullins solve the case. He gives her a tip about a drug shipment coming in. Despite Mullins' reluctance, Ashburn calls in the FBI, which discovers that it is only a pleasure cruise ship. Larkin shoots Jason for informing the FBI about the supposed drug shipment. Jason is rendered comatose. Mullins and Ashburn fall out, with Mullins vowing to bring her brother's attacker to justice. They reconcile after arresting several drug dealers as they try to ascertain Larkin's whereabouts.

The women equip themselves with assault weapons from Mullins' extensive personal arsenal, and infiltrate one of Larkin's warehouses, but they are captured and bound. Julian is about to torture them with knives when he gets called away by Larkin. Before Julian leaves, he stabs Ashburn in the leg and leaves the knife in the wound. Mullins removes the knife from Ashburn's leg and uses it to cut the rope binding her hands. Before she can cut the rope around her feet, they hear someone coming and Mullins puts the knife back in Ashburn's leg. But it is Craig and Adam who enter. Craig begins to untie the two women, but as they realise Adam is Larkin, Adam shoots Craig before he draws his gun. Adam/Larkin has been working on his own case from inside the DEA for several months.

Julian returns and Larkin orders him to kill Ashburn and Mullins while he goes to the hospital to kill Jason. Mullins had put her arms behind her chair so she looks tied up. After Larkin leaves, Mullins frees herself, grabs the knife in Ashburn's leg and attacks Julian first. Ashburn throws herself to the floor whilst tied to her chair and he falls. Julian then grabs Ashburn around the throat and threatens to slit her throat as Mullins raises a gun. Ashburn head butts Julian backwards and incapacitates him. The duo race to the hospital to save Jason.

Upon their arrival, Mullins searches for Jason; Ashburn, hindered by the stab wound in her leg, lags behind. Mullins finds Jason's room, but is disarmed by Larkin, who is about to kill Jason. Ashburn appears and subdues Larkin by shooting him in the genitals. Ashburn requests to stay in the FBI's Boston field office, and has developed a strong friendship with Mullins.

Jason is shown having fully recovered from his coma. Mullins receives a commendation from the Boston Police Department. Members of her family are present, and they all cheer for her. Mullins has signed the back of Ashburn's yearbook, "Foster kid, now you have a sister".

Despite the success of ''[[Bridesmaids (2011 film)|Bridesmaids]]'' (2011), studio executives were still uncertain of an action film with a female-led cast. "There were people suspicious of this attempt, who thought girls won't want to see a cop action movie and guys won't want to see two girls holding guns and we'd cancel out our potential audience," said producer [[Jenno Topping]]. "But we really believed, at the end of the day, it wouldn't be about gender as much as it would be about delivering a courageous action comedy with some heart to it."<ref>{{cite web|last=Kohen|first=Yael|title=It's Kind of a Funny Story|url=http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/celebrities/its-kind-of-a-funny-story-the-heat|publisher=[[Marie Claire]]|access-date=June 27, 2013|page=3|date=April 3, 2013}}</ref>

''The Heat'' grossed $159.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $70.3 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $229.9 million, against a production budget of $43 million.<ref name="BOM"/> ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' calculated the film made a net profit of $61.8 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2016/07/ghostbusters-weekend-box-office-1201787149/|title='Ghostbusters': How Its $46M Opening Creates A Quandary – Weekend Box Office Postmortem|first=Anthony |last=D'Alessandro|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|date=July 18, 2016|access-date=April 11, 2018}}</ref>

The film earned $39.1 million in its opening weekend, finishing second at the box office behind ''[[Monsters University]]''.<ref>{{cite web|last=Subers|first=Ray|title=Weekend Report: 'Monsters' Repeats, 'Heat' Sets Fire to 'White House'|url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3697&p=.htm|work=[[IMDb]]|publisher=[[Box Office Mojo]]|access-date=July 28, 2013|date=June 30, 2013}}</ref>

===Critical response===
On [[Rotten Tomatoes]] the film has an approval rating of 66%, based on 183 reviews with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "''The Heat'' is predictable, but Melissa McCarthy is reliably funny and Sandra Bullock proves a capable foil."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Heat (2013) |url= https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_heat|publisher=[[Fandango Media]]|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|access-date=November 20, 2019}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a score of 60 out of 100 based on reviews from 37 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite web|title=The Heat reviews |url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-heat|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|work=[[Metacritic]]|access-date=July 8, 2013}}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.<ref name="CinemaScore">{{cite web|url= https://www.cinemascore.com/publicsearch/index/title/ |title=CinemaScore |work=cinemascore.com }}</ref>

Positive reviews lauded Bullock and McCarthy’s comedic performances. Critic [[Christy Lemire]] wrote, “the first produced script from [[Katie Dippold]] gives her a smart, inspired and wickedly funny foundation from which to work, and she and Bullock enjoy gangbusters chemistry with each other.”<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lemire |first=Christy |author-link=Christy Lemire |date=2013-06-28 |title=The Heat |url=https://christylemire.com/the-heat/ |access-date=2022-05-14 |website=Christy Lemire |language=en-US}}</ref>

[[Wesley Morris]] wrote in ''[[Grantland]]'', “My skepticism going in had to do with ''The Heat'' being a movie with two female characters that easily could have been played by a pair of men. But these two are like workplace sexism’s toxic side effects. Ashburn is the ambitious professional who lives only for promotions. Mullins is the anti-feminine ballbuster. Nobody likes either of them. And they don’t like each other until they do. This is generic genre stuff with a realish female friendship at its center: It’s a bra-mance.”<ref>{{Cite web |last=Morris |first=Wesley |author-link=Wesley Morris |date=June 27, 2013 |title=Capital Ideas |url=https://grantland.com/features/white-house-crashes-heat-soars/ |access-date=2022-05-14 |website=[[Grantland]] |language=en-US}}</ref>

[[Owen Gleiberman]] of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the film a grade of B and wrote, “The director, [[Paul Feig]], possesses a highly developed radar for the alternating currents of competition and camaraderie in female relationships. As he proved in ''[[Bridesmaids (2011 film)|Bridesmaids]]'' (2011)…Feig understands how women who don’t like each other express their antipathy — in ways both more direct and less direct than what men do. In ''The Heat'', Feig stages scenes like [[Richard Donner]] (''[[Lethal Weapon]]'') with a touch of [[George Cukor]] (''[[The Women (1939 film)|The Women]]''). He has made a piece of smash-and-grab policier pulp that, through the interplay of Bullock and McCarthy, spins to its own snarly/confessional feminine beat.”<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gleiberman |first=Owen |author-link=Owen Gleiberman |date=July 10, 2013 |title=The Heat |url=https://ew.com/article/2013/07/10/heat-movie/ |access-date=2022-05-14 |website=[[EW.com]] |language=en}}</ref>

In contrast, [[Mick LaSalle]] of ''[[The San Francisco Chronicle]]'' called the film both formulaic and inspired, but acknowledged "the inspiration is in the combining of these two actresses."<ref name="sfgate">{{cite web |author1=Mick LaSalle |author-link1=Mick LaSalle |title='The Heat' review: Action, comedy, buddy pic in 1 - SFChronicle.com |url=http://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/The-Heat-review-Action-comedy-buddy-pic-in-1-4626185.php |website=San Francisco Chronicle |date=June 27, 2013}}</ref>
In another mixed review, Keith Uhlich of [[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]] said Bullock and McCarthy deserved better material, and also criticized the trailer for giving the impression that this was a less funny film.<ref>{{cite web |author=Keith Uhlich |author-link=Keith Uhlich |title= The Heat: movie review2013, directed by Paul Feig |url= https://www.timeout.com/us/film/the-heat-movie-review |website= Time Out New York }}</ref>
