Harry S Dec 19, 2018 Despite starring two great actors in Clint eastwood and Burt Reynolds City Heat falters all through its running time. Because the script plays on the often taciturn nature of Eastwood's performances - channelling in particular his Dirty Harry persona - there's little chance for him and Reynolds to develop much chemistry on screen. This leaves the way open for a talented supporting cast to pick up the baton, but only Madeline Kahn, in a too-small role, rises to the challenge. It's the kind of part she could play in her sleep back then, but she still enlivens every scene she's in. Sadly, one winning performance doesn't really justify sitting through the rest of this muddled mess. A one time watch, if that, only if you are a massive fan of the two leads. See more

Harry L Jun 28, 2018 City Heat (1984) ? / ???? Clint and Burt are called in to investigate murder. Only problem is they hate each other's guts--like the people who've seen this movie. See more

Han S Dec 29, 2017 City Heat is a chaotic film. It is about a slick private eye and tough police lieutenant who team up to investigate a murder. Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds give disappointing performances. The screenplay is badly written. Richard Benjamin did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more

Abraham M May 8, 2017 City Heat is what it is and that's all I wanted it to be. Watching it now, some thirty year later, I am not asking, "is this well acted" or even "does it make sense",; it has two of my all time movie heroes in it and I just sit back, take it, wax nostalgic and laugh. See more

Finn M Mar 19, 2017 Flawed, but definitely goofy enough to warrant a watch or two. Eastwoood and Reynolds are great together and do well, considering all they have to work with is 90 pages of one-liners. See more

Finn P Mar 12, 2017 It's a buddy movie with a nostalgic twist thrown in much like The Sting only ... Burt Reynolds. He's in one movie (like maybe The Naked Gun, as Lt. Frank Dreblin), and everyone else is in another. By the end of the effort one begins to have grown a tolerance for his look-at-me antics, but it takes a long time to get there. In the other movie, the one w/o him, everyone does just fine, particularly Jane Alexander. See more
