Rent-a-Cop is lots of fun if you're just in the mood for a good popcorn flick.
It has two big stars: Liza MInnelli and Burt Reynolds.
Liza walks away with this little project quite handily. Burt looks tired, but since his aging cop character is written that way, this is not really a detriment.
Burt does have a few good deadpan comic moments, but again, Liza is the engine that drives this well-produced B-movie to completion.
There is also a truly wonderful Jerry Goldsmith score.
And a motley crew of a supporting cast: James Remar, Bernie Casey, Robby Benson, Richard Masur, John Ryan, and Dionne Warwick (!)
I truly love Rent-a-Cop, and I am not alone. Give it a shot.
