This typical 80s buddy comedy may feel dated 23 years later but is still a lot of fun, mostly thanks to the great chemistry between grumpy DeNiro and whiny Grodin. The cast includes a lot more great names than that and everyone obviously had fun shooting this. While starting out slowly, soon there is plenty of action,
