3.0 out of 5 stars This movie caught my attention, May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Taking the Heat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Caught this movie on late at night, while watching saturday night live. I stopped watching that I kept watching this movie. I liked it a lot Tony, playing rich boy Michael was very handsome and Lynn Whitfield playing the detective who has to keep him alive was excellent. The movie actually had a lot of funny parts as well as a little to much action and violence as is the norm for many movies made at this time. Definetly worth watching and the ending is very satisfying.

I love this movie. There are some funny scenes and touching scenes. This film is sort of like back in the late 1980s romance and action movies type, especially interracial. In the stores or online movies do not sell DVD available, but VHS tapes. You could try to use VHS covert to DVD device. Good movie!

Tony Goldwyn and Lynn Whitfield are so funny in this movie. Tony plays a good snob who thinks everyone should bow before him and Lynn plays a good headstrong cop who will not take his snobby attitude while trying to protect him as she tries to get him to the courthouse to testify in a murder he witnessed. You will laugh and also be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens in the end. I just wish this was on DVD
