Walter Goodman New York Times 05/21/2003
Jerry London's direction is efficient but lacking in the touch or the material needed to mate a romantic comedy with a run-of-the-studio shoot-'em-down. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
2/4
Rent-A-Cop is a collision between a relationship and a cliche, and the cliche wins, but not before the relationship has given us some nice moments. Go to Full Review

On the surface, it sounds fascinating, but Rent-A-Cop's story is far from compelling, mostly be cause this "romantic thriller" is neither romantic nor thrilling it s conventional and convoluted. Go to Full Review
Cathy Burke United Press International 12/09/2017

Ed . Aug 22 Three thoughts: (1) I think more people have reviewed this film here than the number who paid for movie tickets or rentals. (2) Is there a particular sexual fetish named for johns who would pay for a middle-aged hooker with a mania to chatter endlessly? (3) I wouldn't have given this movie even a half star if it weren't for a great, eccentric cast. Five stars for the cast, zero for the plot, one for the direction, one for the acting, five for the dancing. Overall two stars. The lowest rating for a film that I still overall liked. Kudos to all involved for this achievement! See more Steve D 03/02/2023 How did they convince this talent to make this bad a film? See more 09/07/2018 Fun popcorn flick. Some action and laughs. See more 02/23/2013 Fun B movie action with Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli. See more 01/29/2013 Quite a good cast is assembled for an almost complete waste of time. Burt is totally coasting here and Minnelli is really getting too old to play parts like this. James Remar adds quite a bit of intensity (the scene where you find out why he's called "Dancer" is worth the price of admission), but it's really not enough to justify sitting through this. See more 01/19/2013 Hui kauheaa miten huono. Mahdollisesti huonoin koko vuonna tähän asti. Liza Minellin olisi ehkä kannattanut harjoittaa roolihahmonsa ammattia mielummin kuin vetää maineensa lokaan tässä taideteoksessa. Huijui, miten huono. See more Read all reviews
