3.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite Whoopi films, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fatal Beauty [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm surprised at the bad review Amazon gave this. I really enjoy watching the film over and over. Whoopi is as funny as ever in her "character" rolls and the drama adds another dimension. There is profanity, but not inappropiate to the movie. I think she did a great job and if you liked Jumpin' Jack Flash, I think you'll like this one.

This review is from: Fatal Beauty [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A fast talking smart mouth cop investigates a cocaine ring who specalizes in a lethal form of cocaine and sells it to the highest bidder. Basically what the viewer has here is the female version of BEVERLY HILLS COP With Goldberg having the same dialouge Eddie Murphy had. The violence and bloodflow never stops from the opening scene right to the climatic finale. The best part was the massive shoot out in the mall. The film has one weak point Sam Elliot, wasn;t really convincing as a bodyguard who ends up falling for Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg pulled off a very funny genuine performance. The film is worth seeing and is much,much better than BURGLER realased the same year.

This movie has always been one of my favorites from Whoopi Goldberg. She gives a great performance with plenty of comedy and drama. This is a great drug movie. 20 years old and still great!!
