An amiable but decidedly lukewarm confection geared entirely around the two star turns. Full Review |

|
What could have been an interesting and funny period piece under the directorship of original screenwriter Edwards is turned into a tedious, infantile mess by director Benjamin. Full Review |

|
It's certainly not a subtle movie, but with memorable performances, ludicrously over-the-top one-liners and amiable zaniness, it qualifies as a lot of fun. Full Review |

One wishes the only pairing of Clint and Burt were better, but City Heat is still fun.

Under the direction of last-minute replacement Richard Benjamin, the results are insufferable -- grotesque, chaotic, demoralized. Full Review |
