hot air should do it, just don't singe the film by getting too close. also, take care to not burn seals and trim, etc.

Ammonia based window cleaner works best. Once the film is off, use some 000 steel wool and more window cleaner to get the remaining adhesive off. Be very careful around the rear widow defroster elements
A close friend installs window tint and this is the technique he uses.

On a sunny day take amonia based cleaner as PORSCHE944 said. Concentrated windex is best. apply cleaner generously to the window. While it is nice and wet stick a black plastic garbage bag up against it. this will allow the sun to really heat it up. This makes for easier removal.
