Review of Red Heat (1988) by Stefan G — 10 Dec 2013

It might not be one of Schwarzenegger's best movies, and it's certainly not the best concept for a buddy cop film, but I feel that there's still some good in this film. My immediate criticism is that Schwarzenegger's acting is not as good when he tries playing a Russian character (it's not just when he speaks Russian; in fact, it's mainly an English-speaking Russian accent that he speaks in through the whole film).

Also, the rest of the cast, for me, tends to fade into the background, mainly because they aren't very interesting. Aside from that, it's an okay action film. In fact, it's the film's violent action scenes that save it from being complete garbage.
