Bounty hunter Tommy Nowak (Clint Eastwood) is on the trail of Lou Ann McGuinn (Bernadette Peters), a bail jumper last seen burning rubber in her husband's pink Cadillac. But Tommy isn't the only one searching for Lou Ann. There's also a gang of neo-Nazis who want the counterfeit bills hidden in her car trunk. Although Nowak gets to her first, his assignment becomes a touch more difficult when he starts to fall for Lou Ann -- and her husband, Roy (Timothy Carhart), comes into the picture.

Eastwood constantly shifts back and forth in his feelings about the relationship between his heroes and the society that breeds them.

As a deeply personal work about free-floating existential identities, this 1989 film has the kind of grit and feeling that few action comedies can muster, with Eastwood and Peters interesting and unpredictable throughout.

1/5

It is the laziest sort of action comedy, with lumbering chase scenes, a dull-witted script and the charmless pairing of Mr. Eastwood and Bernadette Peters.

1.5/5

Certain actors are not cut out to do certain actor-y things. At this point in his career, Eastwood wasn't quite clear about his range, and that a role needing frenetic energy and speaking with a lisp, was maybe not the best use of his taciturn talents.

Somehow works as one of Clint Eastwood's lesser vehicles.

While the script stumbles beyond a comforting sense of reality (white supremacists?), Pink Cadillac maintains a certain hospitable, emphatically dim-witted appeal.

Enjoyable stuff. I could've perhaps done without the lead characters going the predictable way, but all in all I found this 1989 film featuring Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters to be entertaining. Eastwood and Peters are very good respectively. Elsewhere, there is - like in 'The Dead Pool' a year earlier - a cameo for a future Canadian acting star - another Canadian, a musician, surprisingly appears, too. Geoffrey Lewis stands out - he is miles better in this than he is in the 'Every Which Way but Loose' films. James Cromwell is in there, as well. It's silly, yet amusing. 'Pink Cadillac' marks the final collaboration between Eastwood and director Buddy Van Horn - which wasn't quite Eastwood/Don Siegel levels, but a noteworthy partnership nevertheless.

Pink Cadillac is honestly a bad movie. The movie's got a confusing story, alright acting, weak dialogue, terrible pacing, a weird love interest, some decent action sequences, some stupid moments, some good humour at times and there's too many plot holes scattered throughout.

A ridiculous, implausible film. Probably one of Eastwood's worst.
