Two street-wise Chicago cops have to shake off some rust after returning from a Key West vacation to pursue a drug dealer who nearly killed them in the past.
Ray Hughes and Danny Costanzo are a pair of wisecracking Chicago cops. Julio Gonzales is a fast-rising drug kingpin. In an effort to bring down Gonzales, Danny and Ray unintentionally blow the lid off a long-running undercover operation which has been trying to crack Gonzales's drug ring. After getting chewed out by Captain Logan, Ray and Danny are forced to take a "vacation" and spend some time away from the force. To get away from the dreary Chicago winter, they go to Key West, Florida. They are taken in by the life of leisure, natural beauty, and hot women. They love the pace of life in a place where people stop and take time to watch the sunset each day. Danny comes up with the idea to retire from the force and buy a bar in Key West, and gets Ray to go along with the idea. Still, they don't feel right about retiring until they can nail Gonzales. Ray and Danny head back to Chicago for one last mission as part of the force so that they can retire with clear consciences. Ray and Danny are aiming for one final shot at Gonzales, one final showdown where they can bring Gonzales down.
Danny and Ray are two street wise cops in Chicago. When they are almost killed on a case, they are forced to take a vacation by their captain. Key West offers a substantial change over frozen Chicago. They decide to quit and open a bar in Key West. Upon returning, they find that Julio, the drug dealer who nearly killed them has made bail and is trying to complete a giant drug deal. They decide to complete their case against Julio before quitting, but then begin being careful. Their effectiveness drops as they find they can't operate the way they did before if they don't have the edge of a long time commitment.... This is another one of those movies that disappeared without a trace, and has never really popped up on TV for nearly fifteen years. It's not the best buddy cop movie of the eighties by far (thats Lethal Weapon), but it's still fun movie while it lasts. Crystal and Hines are the best of friends and this is clear because Crystal always walks into Hines' apartment when he's getting down and dirty with the ladies. They laugh and swear and get into scrapes, and take a vacation. This is a strange scene, as it just shows them as a pair of awful awful people, and the worst thing about it is the fact that Crystal is all oiled up and flexing his muscles. And then it's back to basics, Jimmy Smits is back on the street, and the guys must get him before the end of the film. We are then treated to a coupe of car chases, with a few one liners and an impressive final set piece. It's a shame i've seen this film quite a while after it was made, because I have seen so many buddy cop movies since and they have been a lot more slickly made and are a little more entertaining. That said, it's choc full of eighties cheese and Crystal and Hines are great together.
What a funny film! I saw it years ago on VHS when it was first released & just watched it on TV tonight. The on screen chemistry is fantastic & it was released the year before Lethal Weapon & I think the black cop- white cop partnership is funnier in this film. Good to see Joe Pantoliano up to his usual bad guy mischief. Some excellent one liners, Crystal is on top form. There are lots of appearance's from well known faces including Dan Hedaya & Steven Bauer who add to the realism on 80's NYC. The story sometimes seems to get in the way of the double act, but well worth a view.
There is something disturbing in the way the film elevates cynicism and detachment into heroic attitudes.
