Movie Reviews of Stakeout
Movie Review: Still enjoyable after all these years
Summary: 4 Stars
I have always enjoyed this film.
Funny, interesting idea. Good script.
Even with WAY OLD MOVIE TRICK-CARS RUNNING INTO GARBAGE CANS, cars in car chases running into each other, that type of thing.
Now we have 2 Oscar winners in it. Dreyfuss & Estevez had good chemistry as the 2 partners.
Stowe in her short film career, all I ever remember from her in the 2 films I saw her in (remember, she went NO WHERE after this, her only hit movie) was her taking her clothes off.
An older DVD, needs to be released.
NO extras.
Since it is older, nice to have a chapter search page.
BUT, WHAT I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT. A 2 HOUR MOVIE & ONLY 10 CHAPTER STOPS?
And, widescreen the way it should be seen.
The unnecessary sequel I saw once & was NOT funny. Stick to this, the original.
Movie Review: One of the best action/comedies of the 80s
Summary: 4 Stars
Though the sequel was lame, this first 'Stakeout' has a nice blend of action and humor, along with the lovely city of Seattle as the backdrop, to withstand repeated viewings. The key to the movie is the interplay between Dreyfuss and Estevez. They really give you the feeling that they've been partners/buddies for a while. Their exchanges feel natural and flow easily. The plot is decent and the action comes in healthy doses. And, as one reviewer noted, what's not to like about Madeleine Stowe(?), although she looks lost during all of the action scenes. Redeeming that is the on screen chemistry she has with Dreyfuss. The 'love interest angle' works because these two actors work well together. I highly recommend this movie-Movie Review: Good Comedy-Action Mix
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a success at the box office because it had a great mixture of action and humor. Usually if you can do well in those categories on the same film, you have a hit.
Richard Dreyfuss and Emilo Estevez play off each other well as "stakeout" partners and Madeline Stowe looks good as something good to stake out! It's basically a lot of fun to watch.
For those wondering why it's rated "R," a lot of it is the language. The two male leads use an excessive amount of the Lord's name in vain, for one, as well as a bunch of "colorful" descriptions.
It was nicely filmed and looks a whole lot better on DVD than it did on my old VHS tape.
Movie Review: Stakeout this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first saw this movie, I wasn't sure how it would play out. However, I ended up really liking it - the humor, the romance and even the drama. Richard Dreyfuss does a great job creating a character who is funny while still being sympathetic. Emilio Estevez is a good counter-balance, helping keep the movie from being a total farce.Movie Review: Freakin' hilarious!
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned this on tape and practically wore it out, it is funny and suspenseful. Everyone in it is a joy to watch, but Dreyfus is the real gem here. Haven't watched it in years only because I don't own the DVD yet. But I still laugh at the thought of so many scenes. Buy it, you'll be glad you did.
