Movie ReviewsLightweight Fun With Clint and Burt Scott T. Rivers | Los Angeles, CA USA | 07/03/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) ""City Heat" (1984) is a nostalgic throwback to those Spencer Tracy-Clark Gable vehicles of the late 1930s. It's lightweight stuff, but Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds make a good team in this Prohibition-era caper. The star chemistry compensates for a weak script and troubled production history (Clint selected director Richard Benjamin after a falling out with original collaborator Blake Edwards - alias Sam O. Brown in the final credits). Though a disappointment with critics and audiences, Clint and Burt have done much worse." Under-rated cmyth | Albany, Oregon United States | 07/10/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I loved this movie and I feel its very under rated. Yes the story was a little on the weak side but there was some fantastic action, good comedy and a wonderful setting. Too bad it didn't do well in the box office because a follow up would have been awesome." Completely underrated movie M. D. Wallace | Orlando, FL | 12/10/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm not sure what people expected of this movie, but if you forget about who the actors are in this movie and just watch it for fun, it's a hoot! Sure, the plot's a little thin, but it's a comedy, who cares. Enjoy, it's fun and funny." Great film R. Legendre | New Orleans, LA | 07/10/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "I love movies set in this era. I love the clothes, the cars, the music; it was just a simpler time in America's history.
Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood play off of each other so well and the one-liners are hilarious. Great plot, great comedy, and great fun. Reynolds when Eastwood walks unannounced into the office: "I didn't hear you knock." Eastwood: "What a relief. I thought I was going deaf." These two constantly banter like this throughout the whole fim and it's always funny. Give this fun flick a try. " |
