Review of Red Heat

Red Heat (1988)
7/10
Didnt win the Oscar for Best Picture of 1988. Still a fun watch.

No brains needed to watch this movie. This is as straight forward raw simple minded action as humanly possible. Is it any good? Heck yes.

The good: Arnie does what Arnie does best: shoot, not talk.

The bad: this movie was directed, produced AND written by Walter Hill. I had hoped that with full control over this picture he had upped the quality a bit. But he didnt. This director/writer made one of the most simpleton action movies of his entire career with Red Heat. It could have been better. Ah well....

Certainly not the best of Arnies carreer, (almost B-movie level), but definitely still a fun watch for the Arnie fans!
