Clint Eastwood plays a bounty hunter who helps out the wife (Bernadette Peters) of a bail-jumper after her child is kidnapped by neo-Nazi types. A long, entirely forgettable comedy with an uneven tone, this is purely for diehard fans of Eastwood's erratic work before Unforgiven bumped him up to the A list. Better Eastwood choices from around the same time as this film (1989) include Tightrope, The Dead Pool, and White Hunter, Black Heart. Little known at the time, Jim Carrey has a small part in this throwaway Eastwood film (directed by Eastwood's sometime-collaborator, Buddy Van Horn). --Tom Keogh

"City Heat" (1984) is a nostalgic throwback to those Spencer Tracy-Clark Gable vehicles of the late 1930s. It's lightweight stuff, but Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds make a good team in this Prohibition-era caper. The star chemistry compensates for a weak script and troubled production history (Clint selected director Richard Benjamin after a falling out with original collaborator Blake Edwards - alias Sam O. Brown in the final credits). Though a disappointment with critics and audiences, Clint and Burt have done much worse.

I'm not sure what people expected of this movie, but if you forget about who the actors are in this movie and just watch it for fun, it's a hoot! Sure, the plot's a little thin, but it's a comedy, who cares. Enjoy, it's fun and funny.

I love movies set in this era. I love the clothes, the cars, the music; it was just a simpler time in America's history.
Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood play off of each other so well and the one-liners are hilarious. Great plot, great comedy, and great fun.
Reynolds when Eastwood walks unannounced into the office: "I didn't hear you knock."
Eastwood: "What a relief. I thought I was going deaf."
These two constantly banter like this throughout the whole fim and it's always funny.
Give this fun flick a try.

1930s crime farce with two big stars
"City Heat" was released a week before "The Cotton Club" in December, 1984. It's basically a farce version of that film, set in Kansas City. Read more

Kind of an obscure example of Clint and Burt
I'd say there's a reason that you don't hear much aboiut this movie, nor do you see it for sale, very often. However, if you like these guys, it will keep you entertained.

Too bad that this was not a hit movie
I loved this movie because there was a lot of humor and as it goes, every movie is not worthy of Oscar attention but if you like Clint Eastwood, the addition of Burt Reynolds makes... Read more

Not one of Clint's better films, but kind of fun taken for what it is. Rare to find as a DVD.

City Heat, enjoy a movie
A good test of a movie is if the critics liked it. If they pan it, it is generally a good show.
