Clint Eastwood plays a bounty hunter who helps out the wife (Bernadette Peters) of a bail-jumper after her child is kidnapped by neo-Nazi types. A long, entirely forgettable comedy with an uneven tone, this is purely for diehard fans of Eastwood's erratic work before Unforgiven bumped him up to the A list. Better Eastwood choices from around the same time as this film (1989) include Tightrope, The Dead Pool, and White Hunter, Black Heart. Little known at the time, Jim Carrey has a small part in this throwaway Eastwood film (directed by Eastwood's sometime-collaborator, Buddy Van Horn). --Tom Keogh

worth a try.......2006-08-31
Contrary to some of the other reviewers, I thought this movie was decent. Not a real gripping story, I like putting this one on before taking a nap. The scenery and soundtrack are relaxing. If you are new to Clint Eastwood movies, I would go with pale rider or magnum force before buying this one.
Good Movie.......2006-04-19
I like this movie, I don't like bad movies, for example, Dead Man Walking, or anything starring Kevin Bacon. Thus, these other raters are all stupid and worse than Genghis Khan. Yeah go ahead click unhelpful but what I said is true.
Hox floppy can a flop be ?.......2006-01-19
All great film makers have their bad moments, and this film is Clint Eastwood's bad moment. The film could have been funny and it is just entertaining. The film could have been deep and thoroughly thought and it ends like a corny story for grown-up flunkies at the back of the classroom. Why did he miss all the potential of his situation ? Because he wanted to demonstrate something : extreme right racist ideas are bad and lead to crime, and nothing but crime, and crime leads to wasting one's life, and only wasting it. It is too obvious the film advocates staying right in the middle of the bull's eye of the squarest society one can imagine. Square and nothing but square. I must admit I prefer circles, stars of all types and golden rectangles, but squares are too simple for my complex mind. If you want to enjoy yourself somewhat without using your head too much, do watch this film and you will be able to noisily crunch many cookies without losing too much of the « lyrics ».

Pink Cadillac never starts.......2004-05-27
Although I like GM cars, Pink Cadillac stands as being the worst movie of Clint Eastwood's career. He plays a modern-day bounty hunter by the name of Tommy Nowak that uses skill rather then a gun to catch his suspects, although he does carry a gun briefly here. Bernadette Peters plays this little curly-haired blonde who lives in a trailer with her dead-beat husband and his speed-freak friends. Her husband owns a pink cadillac and she drives off in it with her baby and a bag of money. Nowak is then sent to bring her back from a casino before her husband's gang finds her first. When they do, and kidnap the baby, Nowak and Peters bond when they give chase to get it back.
The movie is red-neck and full of trailer trash stereotypes in every way. It also helps define the classic example of the woman that takes the bad boy, but then learns her lesson when she finds Nowak. But the movie has poor acting. Clint's chessy impressions, including an imitation of a drunken red-neck, do little to raise any laughs. The gang of army wannabe's don't make the film any more dramatic. The whole concept of "Don't mess with a man's automobile" is literally worn out.
Despite the semi-colorful cast of Peters, Frances Fisher, and even Jim Carey, and an expansive soundtrack, this romantic comedy falls short of anything close to a classic. It's a good thing that Eastwood didn't direct this himself. Buddy Van Horn took the rap instead. This is the only film of Eastwood's career that did not receive a theatrical release in the UK, and it remains his lowest-grossing to date. Sorry folks, but Pink Cadillac never starts. If you are an Eastwood fan like me, get it to fill in the gaps of your DVD collection.
