1988 - RED HEAT, strictly by the books action flick

 I don't know what went wrong with this film but it sure isn't anything special.  Writer/director Walter Hill teamed up with Arnold Schwarzenegger with another one of those "fish out of water" action movies that they should have been able to shoot in their sleep.  

Maybe that was the problem, the characters, the Chicago settings and even the action stuff are all kind of boring.  Maybe they did shoot it in their sleep.

Since Hill was the driving force behind the film I guess he ultimately should have the responsibility for the lack of imagination that runs throughout the film.

Running time 103 minutes.
