Amazon.co.uk Review

Robert Towne is one of Hollywood's most celebrated screenwriters, but because his directorial efforts have been few and far between, anticipation was high when this star-powered crime story was released in 1988. Critical reaction was decidedly mixed, but there's plenty to admire in this silky, visually seductive film about a drug dealer (Mel Gibson) whose best friend from high-school (Kurt Russell) is now working for the Los Angeles sheriff's drug detail. Their personal and professional conflicts are intensified by their love for the same woman, a waitress (Michelle Pfeiffer) at the Italian restaurant they both frequent. There's a big deal going down with a drug lord (the late Raul Julia), but as it twists and turns, Towne's story is really more about personal loyalties and individual honour. And even if it doesn't quite hold together, the movie's got a fantastic look to it (courtesy of the great cinematographer Conrad Hall), and the three stars bring depth and dimension to their well-written roles. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars An under rated classic, 22 Mar 2004
Any film featuring Michelle Pfieffer is worth watching, throw in a cast including Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell and Raul Julia and you've got some idea of how good this film is.

The complex love triangle between Pfieffer, Gibson and Russell is further complicated by the fact that Gibson and Russell are long time best friends, one is a drug dealer and the other a narcotics officer. Sure, it may be a little far fetched but it makes for good viewing.

Fans of Michelle Pfieffer will enjoy the steamy love scene with Mel Gibson whilst anyone who enjoys good music will find the soundtrack interesting. There is a wonderful piece of music written by Dave Grusin and featuring David Sanbourn on the saxaphone, a great duet from Nancy Wilson (Heart) and Robin Zander (Cheap Trick) and some other great tunes from bands such as Duran Duran, Crowded House and Ziggy Marley.

A good film for summer time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching courtship and strong loyalties of friendship, 20 Nov 2000
This review is from: Tequila Sunrise [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)
Dale McKussic / Mac (Mel Gibson) is seen regularly visiting his favourite Italian restaurant run by the beautiful Jo Ann (Michelle Pfeiffer) and cop Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell) wonders if Mac's criminal past is surfacing again especially with the latest news that Carlos, the Mexican druglord is making a trip to revisit his long-time pal, Mac. Could Mac be conducting his illegitimate business in this suave restaurant also frequented by influential people? Could Jo Ann be involved, after all, she is certainly 'slick' enough and has a wonderful rapport with her customers? Only thing is Nick isn't all that keen to bust his high school friend, but he has a job to do. Mac has said he quit the drug business but no one else wants him to. Jo Ann definitely never asked to become a pawn between these 2 buddies as a romantic triangle evolves. What else is there to worry about except that Jo Ann unsuspectingly sets eyes on Carlos, and now he wants to dispose of her since she can identify him. No one knows who he is (bar Mac, of course). [Note. For that reason I am not telling you who plays Carlos.] This movie isn't your 110mins of high brakes, roller-coaster, good-guy, bad-guy story, and I am a Pfeiffer fan but the romance and theme of comaraderie between friends is uplifting. Besides, casting includes Gibson and Russell! A favourite from this movie: " I can't believe what you've done with your life. You think you can do or say what you like, just like Carlos. You try to f*** her, he tries to kill her". I've watched it a few times now and still enjoy it as much as if I were to have a cocktail to relax. Definite place in my personal collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another 80's drugs bust, 17 Oct 2004
By Francisco "hifranc" (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
At first glance, this doesn't sound like the sort of film that you'd expect out of Hollywood. The plot is that there are two guys: one is a narcotics cop (Russell) and the other has served time for drug dealing (Gibson) who just happen to be good friends. Gibson swears he's gone straight. Russell comes into information that a drug baron, who knows Gibson well, is going to visit. Things get complicated they both fall for the owner of Gibson's favourite restaurant (Pfeiffer).

The plot revolves around 3 questions: Has Gibson's character, Mac, really gone straight? For Russell, does his job or his friendship with Gibson come first? And, finally, which one will Pfeiffer end up with?

Compared to the average cop movie, the film is slow. On the plus side, considering it's a Hollywood movie, the film has an unusual ability to see shades of grey. At the end of the day, both of those observations stem from that fact that the film is primarily a romance with a police investigation backdrop. The characters are well drawn for crime film but are still pretty two dimensional for a romantic drama.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly too complicated for comfort
One of these films that are so intricate that you seem to lose the line along the road, especially since the road is slightly tortuous and at least in the high sierras. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Gibson, and Russel overshadowed by Pfeiffer
Mel Gibson is suave, cool and the typical anti hero in his role asadrug dealer. Childhood friend Ken Russel is stoic and on the opposite side of the law. Read more
