Reviews for Loose Cannons
Dan Aykroyd's dexterous multipersonality schtick is the only redeeming feature of this chase-heavy comedy.
Quite embarrassing, really, especially with the overacting of Dan Aykroyd.
Mr. Hackman and Mr. Aykroyd deserve much better. They really do. Each gives a thoroughly professional performance that is consistently undercut by the direction of Mr. Clark.
All of this must have looked wonderful on paper, but somehow the joy of it got lost in the translation from page to screen.
Hackman mostly just stands around watching Aykroyd run through his exertions with the look of a man who has something unspeakable on the sole of his shoe.
