Leave your thoughts about Pink Cadillac.
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrThe plot isn't much (some described it as an unsuccessful combination of Midnight Run and Betrayed), but Pink Cadillac is rich in character, containing some of the most heartfelt and engaging moments in an Eastwood film since his unjustly neglected Bronco Billy. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfWhile the script stumbles beyond a comforting sense of reality (white supremacists?), Pink Cadillac maintains a certain hospitable, emphatically dim-witted appeal. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSomehow works as one of Clint Eastwood's lesser vehicles. |
| EmpireKim NewmanHalf-an-hour too long, but still a fun ride. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenPink Cadillac has a strong visual design and lots of juicy, self-confident acting. But it doesn’t transcend its star vehicle trappings or chemistry. The construction of the story is so soft, you get the impression that if the driver and navigator were replaced, the movie might turn rattletrap and fall apart. |
| The Associated PressDolores BarclayThere's little that's new in the material, and nobody seems to have asked whether the emotional charge of blatant racism belongs in a lightweight story like this - even if the racists are the villains. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumNot all of these ideas are successfully dramatized, and you may have trouble believing in most of the characters, but as a deeply personal work about free-floating existential identities, this 1989 film has the kind of grit and feeling that few action comedies can muster, with Eastwood and Peters interesting and unpredictable throughout. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumPretty forgettable Eastwood runs out of gas. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonIn nearly all the important categories -- story, direction, pacing, acting -- the picture is pretty much negligible. Still, almost by force of sheer winning dopiness, the movie seduces you into dropping your defenses. It's weightlessly, irredeemably enjoyable. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt is the laziest sort of action comedy, with lumbering chase scenes, a dull-witted script and the charmless pairing of Mr. Eastwood and Bernadette Peters. |
