Minnelli's portrayal of a hooker is poorly written and difficult to accept, but everything else in the plot flows comfortably.

Reviews for Rent-A-Cop
Another faceless Reynolds crime caper that handcuffs the audience's appreciation for real arresting comedy. As defective as a broken police siren
Rent-A-Cop tried to recapture the magic that Reynolds and Minnelli shared in Lucky Lady (1975), but instead succumb to being one of the cheesiest action flicks of all time
