As a deeply personal work about free-floating existential identities, this 1989 film has the kind of grit and feeling that few action comedies can muster, with Eastwood and Peters interesting and unpredictable throughout.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten

It is the laziest sort of action comedy, with lumbering chase scenes, a dull-witted script and the charmless pairing of Mr. Eastwood and Bernadette Peters.

Caryn James, New York Times
Rotten

An overlong, undercooked action comedy made out of retooled parts from other film vehicles.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten

There's little that's new in the material, and nobody seems to have asked whether the emotional charge of blatant racism belongs in a lightweight story like this -- even if the racists are the villains.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

It's weightlessly, irredeemably enjoyable.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
