| DVD Description After scoring a hit with the Eddie Murphy-Nick Nolte cop thriller 48 Hours, director Walter Hill returned to the buddy formula with this half-ridiculous, half-invigorating action flick about humorless Russian cop Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger). He follows a drug dealer from Moscow to Chicago, where he's matched up with city cop Art Ridzik (James Belushi), whose work ethic is considerably more relaxed. Most of the humor revolves around Danko's grumpy reaction to good ol' American capitalism, while Ridzik urges him to chill out. Red Heat is not bad as action comedies go, but only if you get into the absurd spirit of this predictable fare, in which the unlikely buddies get to wisecrack and act casually while mayhem erupts everywhere they go. Incidentally, Red Heat was the first American film allowed to shoot in Moscow's Red Square. --Jeff Shannon |

Red heat Gotta see this movie now.Rated R for graphic violence,nudity,language,and drug use. .
Can I give it 8 stars? Please? Come on! I'm begging you! This is among the best Arnold movies I've ever seen. It goes like this-a tough and disciplined Russian Detective named Ivan Danko(Schwarzengger)and a fearless but undisciplined cop named Art(James Belushi)are on the trail of an evil and vicious serial killer named Viktor, who has killed Ivan's brother and terrozied all of Moscow and Chicago as well. There are not only wonderful fight scenes in this movie, but also a lot of humerous moments & some memorable lines. I give this movie a solid 10 out of 10. Oh yeah, there's also some really sexy bitches. Will Art and Ivan defeat Viktor? Watch this highly recommended movie and find out. And just so you know, Arnold steals the movie as usual.
Fun movie...typical Arnold Arnold Schwartzenegger plays Soviet police-captain Vanya Danko, opposite Chicago PD's Art Ritsek (Jim Belushi), tracking down a Soviet drug dealer.
The contrast between the old Soviet Union and Chicago are striking. The USSR is clean, organized and oppressive while Chicago is dirty, chaotic and freewheeling. A great visual description of Communism vs. Capitalism.
A big letdown to me was when I figured out the handcannon carried by Arnold was a Desert Eagle .50AE pistol. Those things are way overused in Hollywood. It would have been better if they had kept the Soviets with eastern bloc firearms. The laminated SKS rifles being carried by the Red Square honor guard looked cool, and it seemed like all the other Soviet bad guys and cops were carrying Makarovs. The US based bad guys carried a wide variety of firearms.
This is a good movie that is typical Arnold. If you like Arnold, you will like this movie. Belushi is an added treat. |
