Nicholas t @nicktalbert2025 Oct 20 i city heat is good and better See more Aug 4 A fun movie. Again, the bad reviews would be from people watching it now and not understanding the time when it came out. Eastwood's great and Reynold's physical comedy was very Buster Keaton- it was great. Some snappy dialogue and it's a keeper for your collection. It actually reminds me a lot of Harlem Nights, which came out afterwards. See more Blu B May 14 Seen a lot of Noir's and a couple of Noir comedies. The worst ones are completely convuluted and incoherent beyond belief. This doesn't do hat at all. I can follow the basic thing going on though it's not the smoothest thing either. The music is very standard stuff for this and nothing special. The set designs are pretty good, the direction isn't bad, but it's not really visually funny or that moody. This is such an odd but intriguing pairing of two huge stars and yet they're barely together in this. It's like they help each other every now and than in passing rather than anything like a buddy cop movie the entire runtime. They have no chemistry together. Reynolds is just going through the motions and almost sleepwalking at times like how Chevy Chase does. The dialouge is ok and very much hit or miss. The humor (I think this is trying to be funny most of the time) doesn't get a laugh once. It's so flat the entire time and I think that's a big reason why the dialouge is so off. It's trying to be snappy and witty but also funny and it can't make them work. It's so middle of the road in every fundamental aspect that it ends up having nothing really going for it that sets it apart. Even the action scenes are just ok too. Nothing special here but also nothing broken. Skip This. See more nick s @Nick_S Jan 10 Great production effort recreating 1930s scenes and costumes. Street scenes in particular looked good. But I find it hard to get into a movie with a larky vibe where the main characters don't take their situation seriously. The very first fight scene is a good demonstration of this. The director killed the intensity for a couple of cheap laughs. I guess it was an 80s buddy cop movie thing but it doesn't age well. See more Steve D 03/07/2023 So many cliches that it never ends up working. See more 05/25/2022 22% really? 90% for me. Its great to see Eastwood in his usual grumpy mean self up against a totally inept comedy style of Reynolds. See more Read all reviews
