- Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Russian policeman sent after a Georgian drug dealer who has escaped to the United States and is awaiting extradition in Chicago. Jim Belushi plays his temporary partner on the Chicago police. When the drug dealer escapes, the two police must overcome their differences in order to recapture him.
- A tough Russian policeman is forced to partner up with a cocky Chicago police detective when he is sent to Chicago to apprehend a Georgian drug lord who killed his partner and fled the country.
- Here's a pretty decent action picture of the 1980's that doesn't disappoint fans of the genre. "Red Heat" team up Walter Hill, Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi on a plot about a Soviet captain (Arnold) and an American cop (Belushi) whose task is to arrest a violent drug dealer (Ed O'Ross) that came all the way from Russia to Chicago, after killing a cop, friend of Schwarzenegger.<br/><br/>So,here's a buddy movie where two opposite forces join each other in order to achieve their common goal and catch the bad guy, back in the hard days of Cold War. Most of the film is about covering the strange partnership between the detective of the Capitalist nation and the tough captain that comes from the Comunist Russia, their cultural differences and different ways of treating their criminals, and the usual fights and shootings. A real fun to watch if you're not much demanding. <br/><br/>Some might find silly or annoying the fact of seeing the Soviet cop always better,always smarter and always stronger than the American cop, who is more like a clown filled with unfunny jokes. Others might enjoy the fact of a simple action film foreseeing the collapse of the Communism, three years before the real act. And for a Walter Hill movie this was quite light, not much violent (or not making it so impressively) and filled with lots of dialogs.<br/><br/>Part of our fun in watching "Red Heat" is seeing the Governator posing like a Russian officer, so superior but giving some funny moments.Cast also includes Peter Boyle, Gina Gershon, Laurence Fishburne, Richard Bright and Pruitt Taylor Vince, all in good supporting roles.<br/><br/>Man, I miss movies like this. Those were the good days for watching such classics. 9/10
- Like "Gorky Park" from five years earlier, "Red Heat" is a cop thriller whose main character is a Russian police officer from Moscow. The two men even have similar surnames, Renko in the earlier film, Danko in the later one. Yet the two films are very different in style, and the differences between them reflect the way in Soviet Russia, and perceptions of Soviet Russia in the West, were changing during the 1980s.<br/><br/>"Gorky Park" was made in 1983, during the brief Andropov/Chernenko hiatus between the death of Brezhnev and the rise of Gorbachev. It is a bleak neo-noir whose bleakness reflects the increasing disillusionment with an increasingly corrupt Soviet system, a system which had long since exhausted any sense of revolutionary idealism but which remained totalitarian and oppressive. "Red Heat", by contrast, was made in 1988 as a relatively light-hearted buddy cop film. This particular sub-genre of the crime thriller was a popular one in the eighties; one of the pioneering examples was "48 Hours", also directed by Walter Hill. In the age of glasnost and perestroika the idea of combining a Russian cop with an American one must have seemed like an appropriate tribute to the increasing spirit of détente between East and West. Whereas there was never any question of shooting "Gorky Park" in Moscow- Helsinki stood in for the Russian capital- "Red Heat" became the first American film for which permission was granted by the Soviet authorities to shoot in Red Square itself.<br/><br/>Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the hero, Moscow drugs officer Ivan Danko, who travels to America to seek the extradition of Viktor Rostavili a Georgian drug dealer who has fled the Soviet Union after murdering several cops, including Danko's partner. Rostavili has been arrested in Chicago, but when he escapes from custody Danko and Detective-Sergeant Art Ridić of the Chicago Police Department have to track him down.<br/><br/>Doubtless the film-makers thought that by casting Schwarzenegger as a Russian they could explain away his heavy foreign accent which made it difficult for audiences to accept him as an American, but he always sounds more Germanic than Slavic. Large parts of the dialogue are actually in Russian, and I understand that "Red Heat" has become something of a cult movie in Russia because of the many mispronunciations perpetrated by Arnie and other non-Russian speakers among the cast.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, for English-speakers the film works fairly well. It is a frequent convention of "buddy cop" films that the two mismatched partners should have sharply contrasting characters, and the contrasts and conflicts between them as they learn to work together as partners is often used as a source of humour. Here the contrasts are not just between the personalities of the rather serious Danko and the mouthy, worldly-wise Ridić but also between the American and Soviet systems of law enforcement. Ridić is horrified by Danko's uncompromising approach and his disregard of suspects' rights; Danko is equally horrified by what he sees as the excessively laid-back approach of the American police. ("This Chicago is very strange city. Your crime is organised, but your police is not.") There are also some exciting action scenes, especially that high-speed chase through the streets of Chicago in two Greyhound buses, Danko at the wheel of one and Rostavili at the wheel of the other. "Red Heat" lacks the depth and intelligence of "Gorky Park", but it is an entertaining and at times amusing thriller. 6/10
- Thanks to a fairly good script, this thriller about a Soviet cop sent to Chicago to apprehend a Soviet drug dealer is a respectable enough star vehicle.
- The police mentioned he would have a "nice" room in a upper class hotel. Ivan being a soviet would much rather live in a room similar to his home accommodations. It also helps to prevent being poisoned by western influences of capitalism.<br/><br/>Notice how poorly he responds to the pay per view TV.<br/><br/>There's more to it than that, however. Victor was arrested close to the hotel.<br/><br/>Victor had been pulled over for running a red light, whereupon the arresting officers found out that he was driving without a license and illegally possessed a handgun.<br/><br/>In addition to being arrested close to the hotel, Victor had also been lodging there before his arrest. Ivan checks into the same room that Victor was using, presumably to find any additional evidence and clues that could be used against his fugitive. Red Heat isn't always shown in its uncensored version on US TV. That is mainly due to the nudity and profanity the movie contains. a5c7b9f00b
