The movie is all over the map, trying whatever seems to work at the moment.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The film is caught somewhere between seriousness and cheesy exploitation.

Hal Hinson
Washington Post
A surprisingly engaging action-comedy-fantasy that places greater emphasis on high-caliber acting than rapid-fire shootouts.

December 28, 2020 | Full Review…

Joe Leydon
The Moving Picture Show
A casually racist murder-mystery (minus the mystery) that was rejected by both audiences and critics due to a chaotic tone, insipid comedy beats and clunky action scenes set to slap-bass and scat-singing.

Denzel Washington and Bob Hoskins in an action-ghost-buddy comedy? Uh huh.

Scott Weinberg

A schizophrenic film that is never funny, never insightful and often annoying.

Audience Reviews for Heart Condition

May 15, 2010

I saw this movie a long time ago and can still remember the story. The story is about a racist cop (Bob Hoskins) who gets a heart transplant from a black guy. The black guy (Denzel Washington) then appears as a ghost in the cop's life. The ghost wants the cop to take down the guys who killed him. I remember this movie as very entertaining and different from what I was used watching.

Talk about a fun time. An endlessly enjoyable and excting movie. Bob Hoskins and Denzel Washington are excellent, they make a charming, teriffic and funny buddy team.

A moderately entertaining piece of nothing, with Bob Hoskins, a bigoted cop who has a black heart transplanted into him and then has to solve a crime with the donor's ghost.
