Diese Zwei sind nicht zu fassen (1986)

Diese Zwei sind nicht zu fassen: Directed by Peter Hyams. With Gregory Hines, Billy Crystal, Steven Bauer, Darlanne Fluegel. 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.

“Wisecracking Chicago cops Ray and Danny tackle drug lord Julio Gonzales in a battle of wits across the city. Essentially the plot doesnu0026#39;t matter, this is just another buddy cop movie from the eighties. However it rises above others by being good fun throughout. It even takes a break from the action midway for the two to go and live on the beach and lay low for a while.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main reason it is so much fun is the chemistry between Hines and Crystal. Itu0026#39;s very easy to believe that they are partners of many years. Crystal is especially funny but really they both make it good. Even chase scenes and action scenes contain witty dialogue throughout. Smits is not a great villain but he carries the role well and the supporting cast are impressive with other future big names Dan Hedaya and Joe Pantoliano.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall itu0026#39;s not a classic – itu0026#39;s a buddy cop movie. But even now it still feels fresh and fun due to the partnership of Hines and Crystal. Watch it, like the characters, enjoy the action and laugh at the comedy – a wonderful example of how the buddy cop genre can be good when everything is just right.”
