jim belushi is film cancer

An 80's guilty pleasure buddy cop film. With Walter Hill as director; it's pretty much 48 Hrs but with a Russian.

An OK Arnold outing, but as a whole, Red Heat is just an average action movie. Belushi is his usual obnoxious self, and Schwarzenegger does a passable stone-faced Russian. The action is good, but the story is as stupid as only 80's action movie stories can be. It's not a bad movie, just a rather forgettable one.

A classic 1980s cop action-comedy that lives from the retro charm and the protagonist. Schwarzenegger and Belushi are the typical unmatched couple that grows together throughout the movie. Good fun, good action and cool characters for an evening without having to think.

Liberal use of "hysterical woman gets in the way trick". I didn't know this was a thing, but now I know, it is a thing. I have to ask, does this say something about Walter hills personal life? Mediocre, by today's standards. What the hell am I saying? Hollywood puts out some really lame movies these days. Back then, I think this was considered to be a good movie. Now, it's ordinary surface level junk. No depth to the characters. Just a series of events with a lot of stupid one liners and implausible scenarios.
