Tequila Sunrise Reviews

TOP MOVIE !!!

Tequila Sunrise stars Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell as two lifelong friends who, in true James Cagney-Pat O'Brien fashion, grow up on the opposite sides of the law. One is a retired drug dealer (at least he says he is), the other a 'celebrity' cop. Both fall in love with gorgeous restaurateur Michelle Pfeiffer. Veteran movie buffs will enjoy spotting director Budd Boetticher as a judge, and will welcome the presence in the production credits of cinematographer Conrad Hall, who earned an Oscar nomination for his richly textured color camerawork.

This was an ok dvd but not what you would normaly see mel gibson in. l did enjoy the movie but not as much as other mel movies.

sizzling ! but dull storyline

The critics have slated this one as dull and un-interesting, but it's one of my favourite because it's got two great actors in it : Mel and Michelle. A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday night movie - good/bad guys, sexy love-interest, a stake-out, Mexican druglords, custody battles, and a beach-house with a great view. So it's not Lethal Weapon, so what !

tequila slammer

ok film ok ending- bog standard hollow characters and meaningless script with clueless ending although aged,it is predictably askew-intriguing overhype.ok if u on more than 4 a month

Can anyone explain the end?

I enjoyed parts of this film and I am not criticising it because it's not Lethal Weapon. The trouble was it left too many questions throughout which was frustrating. You just didn't know whether any of the characters were legitimate. Ok you need some mystery but you also need to believe something about a character so that when it turns out to be wrong you are surprised. And if anyone could shed some light onto the rather abrupt ending I would be grateful.

A Good Film

All i have to say is it was 'A Good Film' Highly Recommend...

Mediocre 80's flick

Disappointing movie considering the 3 main actors would normally denote a classic 80's film.

Never really gets going even though there is a couple of twists in the plot, it doesnt have the impact that the other Gibson & Russell films of those days provided.

Dated a little

It's dated a little but it still holds enough 80s slickness with it's music and characterisations. It loses it towards the end but Kurt Russell and Mel Gibson are great together.
