Leave your thoughts about Red Heat.
| Time OutGeoff AndrewSurface stuff, moderately contemptuous, but entertaining enough. |
| Chicago TribuneAllison BenediktSchwarzenegger, who when he dons a green suit is dubbed 'Gumby' by Belushi, is right on target with his characterization of the iron-willed soldier, and Belushi proves a quicksilver foil. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellThis thing was a dud in the 80s. That's saying something. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film is punctuated by violence, a great deal of violence, although most of it is exaggerated comic-book style instead of being truly gruesome. Walking that fine line is a speciality of Hill, who once simulated the sound of a fist on a chin by making tape recordings of Ping-Pong paddles slapping leather sofas. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThanks to a fairly good script, this thriller about a Soviet cop sent to Chicago to apprehend a Soviet drug dealer is a respectable enough star vehicle. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonRed Heat is a topically entertaining variation on the sort of action-adventure nonsense that plays best on television. Mr. Hill's touch is heavy when he takes himself seriously. However, he has a real gift for instantly disposable fantasy. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWent hotly down my throat like a shot of vodka with a donut to appease this big hunger pang I suddenly had for junk Commie things. |
| VarietyVariety StaffSchwarzenegger, who when he dons a green suit is dubbed 'Gumby' by Belushi, is right on target with his characterization of the iron-willed soldier, and Belushi proves a quicksilver foil. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrIt might never be remembered as a great film - or even as a great Schwarzenegger film - but it's a great slice of nostalgia. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphHill's confidence keeps the formulaic buddy-cop cliches entertaining. |
