True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Continuing my plan to watch every Clint Eastwood movie in order I come to the comedy Pink Cadillac (1989)Plot In A Paragraph: Skip tracer Tommy Nowak (Eastwood) is tracking Lou Ann McGuinn (Bernadette Peters) for a bail bondsman in California. Lou Ann is also being chased by her husband Roy McGuinn and his white supremacist friends a gang called the The Birthright. The last comedy Clint Eastwood would ever make. The movie was an attempt at returning Clint Eastwood to the action-comedy genre which gave him the highest grossing movies of his career in Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can (the latter had the same director as this movie and the last Dirty Harry) but sadly it's neither funny, charming or even watchable.The most interesting things I found watching this movie for the first time since it's release was Jim Carrey turns up here (his second Eastwood movie in a row) billed as James Carrey, as an Elvis impersonater. Regular Eastwood co stars Bill McKinney and Geoffrey Lewis pop up here in their last Eastwood movies too whilst Frances Fisher makes her first appearance in an Eastwood movie. Clint who has saved worse movie plots than this, seriously has his work cut out here. He tried hard, but it just doesn't work. Part of the problem is it's trying too hard to recapture the magic of the Philo Beddo movies (trailer parks, rowdy bars, motels and even another car wash) even the members of The Birthright can be compared to the bikers from those movies. Another is racism, and a baby being kidnapped are not very suitable topics for the gentle charming comedy this is aiming to be. Played straight it may have turned out different, but as it is, this is a tough one to say good things about. The 1980's ended with a whimper rather than a bang as Pink Cadillac was the second Clint movie to under perform as it only grossed $12 million at the domestic box office, to end 1989 as 74th highest grossing movie of the year. Making it Clint's worst performing movie since Joe Kidd seventeen years earlier. It actually didn't even get a cinema release in the UK, making it the first Clint movie to go straight to home video since he became an A list star.

Pink Cadillac has Clint Eastwood playing a skip tracer who most assuredly is not Dirty Harry. But he's a guy who's good at his job and is most clever at arresting subjects, catching them off guard with all kinds of cons and disguises.He also likes a challenge so he's not terribly thrilled with getting an assignment to track down Bernadette Peters who simply has the bad misfortune to be married to a real loser in Timothy Carhart. He's done some jail time and made some real friends with the birth righters, a white supremacist neo Nazi gang who work on the outside as well.And what they're into is counterfeiting and when Peters walks out on Carhart taking their baby and the Neo Nazi loot with both real and bogus bills, she's got them after her as well.This film which will please die-hard Clint Eastwood fans didn't rise to any occasion for me. I just could not quite accept the neo-Nazis as even comic villains. And the film seemed to be a one note joke about the Pink Cadillac that hovered over the film. That no one would expect Clint Eastwood to be driving in such a conspicuous and flamingly effeminate ride. Even if it is Peters' car which they have to use out of necessity.Clint and Bernadette never quite connected either. Funny thing that with a different leading lady and a more serious treatment this might have been an Eastwood classic.But they would have to get rid of the Pink Cadillac as well.

This movie is kind of a weaker "Midnight Run" film. I liked it a bit more than a lot apparently as it is scored rather low here. I found it rather humorous and I liked how it played out. I enjoy films of this nature just as I enjoyed "Midnight Run". This one has a bunch in common with that film, it also reminds me a bit of a film called "Dead Bang" with Don Johnson as the bad guys at the end were very similar. This one though is a bit of a road trip movie on a smaller scale than "Midnight Run", however it works in its own simple way. Mainly because Clint Eastwood is in it and he adds something to this movie to be sure. The film features Peters as a woman who is married to a guy who has been hanging with the wrong crowd. She ends up arrested, jumps bail with her husband's pink Cadillac and her and her baby are on the run. Enter Clint who is the bounty hunter assigned to tracking her down. Things are not all that cut and dry though as something of interest is hidden within that car. Like I said, for what it was I enjoyed it. It was not Clint's best movie, or even his best comedy, but I thought it was enjoyable.

Clint Eastwood is Tommy Nowak, making his living working for a bond company, tracking down and bringing back those who have jumped bail. The opening scenes establish his character by showing him in action in two different cases.Bernadette Peters has always been a favorite of mine. Here she plays a young mother Lou Ann. Her husband is mixed up with a gang of Caucasian supremacists who are also thieves. It turns out her husband and their friends have a big stash of counterfeit money and, when a raid happens she is the only one there, thus the one arrested. Out on bail, she slips away and Nowak is hired to track her down.This isn't a particularly good movie. The title comes from the car that Lou Ann's husband owns, and which Lou Ann and Nowak end up traveling in. There is a big gun fight near the end. But when it is over it all adds up to nothing much.
