Review of Cohen and Tate (1989) by Michael A — 13 Jul 2013
Cohen and Tate came as a surprise to me because I hadn't really ever heard of it before receiving it. It stars Roy Scheider and Adam Baldwin as two hit men. After killing his parents, they kidnap a little boy to deliver him to mobsters in Houston.
Along the way, the two become rivals and go through hell trying to keep track of the kid. Personally, I found the film to be pretty good, but not much more than mediocre, I'm afraid. I like how dark it is and how it doesn't really pull many punches when it comes to the violence, but the kid annoyed me to no end with his incessant whining and crying.
This had the potential to be a really tight thriller with some class, but classy it isn't. It works well enough but doesn't warrant a second viewing.
