Clint Eastwood carries it, but 'City Heat' as a whole is just about good. Burt Reynolds makes for a solid partner for Eastwood, though his character isn't as strong as the latter's - who is played by the film's standout, no doubt. There's not any star performers behind those two, though Richard Roundtree and Rip Torn are alright. One positive, though, is the 1930s set design, which I really liked. Not the most memorable flick, you could say it ought to be due to the double act up top, but I still found it to be a satisfactory watch.

Supposedly a comedy. Not funny. So it fails. As an action/crime film....also bad.

There are few Eastwood movies that I recommend to forget about. This is one of them. In this movie, everything is wrong. The story, the characters, the humour, the cinematography, … Apparently this is due to the chaotic production environment. What could have been a good cop-buddy movie with two superstars of their time is just a big mess to forget about. A pity :-(

Buddy movie at the time of dry law.
