This was supposed to be a blockbuster: the 1984 meeting of then-box-office icons Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood. Instead, the result was surprisingly flat, though Reynolds and Eastwood have their moments. The plot is a mishmash about bootleggers, gangsters, and kidnapping in the 1930s, with Reynolds as a free-wheeling private eye and Eastwood as a jaded cop who doesn't like Reynolds's style. The two stars exaggerate their well-established screen personas, which, in Reynolds's case, was already exaggerated enough. Directed by Richard Benjamin, it's weak stuff, despite a cast that includes Rip Torn, Madeline Kahn, Tony Lo Bianco, and Jane Alexander. The big running gag is about the size of Eastwood's gun. --Marshall Fine

 Great entertainment - Loved this one June 14, 2009

Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds and Madeline Kahn outdo themselves with witty, well-written dialogue. This movie is full of everything you love about Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. Plenty of action and comedy. A must see for any Clint Eastwood or Burt Reynolds fan.

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.
Very funny and underrated September 1, 2007

I think the humor in this film is a little to sophisticated for most Clint and/or Burt fans but this is a great movie. This is a very intelligent comedy that many people just wont get. I have read that people think the actors gave wooden preformances, that's what the parts call for. This film has some great scenes, especially Clints fight scenes.
 Great film July 10, 2007

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.
