5.0 out of 5 stars A classic hell for leather road thriller., September 28, 2003
A taut, terrically filmed duel of wits between a little boy and two hired killers who kidnapped him. The film contains strong performances and gripping camerawork and editing. An underseen 80's classic that was completely ripped off by Elmore Leonard in his novel "KILLSHOT." A must see for Roy Schiedler's icy turn as a hired killer with a samurai streak of honor and Baldwin's frightening psychopathic partner. A reliably crack job of directing from Eric Red, of "THE HITCHER," "NEAR DARK" and "BODY PARTS."

4.0 out of 5 stars Cohen and Tate a High-Octane Adventure, May 14, 2007
This review is from: Cohen and Tate [VHS] (VHS Tape)
For any fan of Adam Baldwin (Firefly fans I'm talking to you), Cohen and Tate is a thrilling romp that follows two mob hitmen as they try to deliver a young witness to their boss. Unfortunately for them, the kid's a conniving little snot who figures out how to play his captors against one another and does so with annoying dexterity.

Adam Baldwin gives a vicious performance as the hot-headed Tate, though a lot of his dialogue is badly dubbed over for content (despite the movie's R rating). Roy Scheider is ice-cold as Cohen, conceivable as a veteran killer suffering from hearing loss.

The movie as a whole isn't the greatest, but it's not so much the plot that drives this movie. The characters of Cohen and Tate, their conflicting natures and constitutions is what makes this movie worth your time. As the tension mounts, you can sense the characters' hatred for one another. When the movie reaches it's climax, you don't really care who gets killed but you really want someone to get it. One day I would love to see this movie released to DVD with Baldwin's original dialogue restored.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutal,Bloody but rather enjoyable, October 22, 2005
By Raegan Butcher (RainCity, OR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This is a little known thriller from the guy who wrote the screenplay for THE HITCHER. Like that film,this one is a road movie. But it isn't like any road you've been on before, really.

Plot: 2 hit men(the title characters) rub out some mob witnesses but have to contend with a survivor, a plucky little kid.

Roy Scheider's performance as Cohen, the sleek professional hit-man is one of his best;when he slips on what looks like a pair of black rubbber gloves at the start of the film, it somehow says almost all you need to know about him.

Adam Baldwin is equally impressive as the less slick and much less professional killer, Tate. ( "You're a half ass!" Scheider tells him. " A cheapie!")

This film is extremely tense and violent in spots but not disgustingly so. And if you're a fan of films that end with a BANG, you should enjoy the climactic confrontation between the cops, the killers and that damned little kid!
