Review of Dead Heat

Dead Heat (1988)
7/10
Buddy cop movie with the undead.
6 August 2009
For a movie that is not really serious and more comedy than anything else it still has a way to surprise you here and there as well. There are a couple of instances where I was like "what just happened?". However, at its heart I would have to say this is more of a buddy cop movie than anything else, just one that happens to feature zombies and places where the lead guys are pretty much killed. Both Treat Williams and Joe Piscapo do rather good jobs here, you also get to see Vincent Price in one of his last roles, I do believe "Edward Scissorhands" was the actual last movie of his very prestigious career. The plot is also rather good as it does take a few crazy twists and turns here and there especially if you do not read the plot summary and stuff. I saw this movie as a kid and it really worked because I only knew this movie had zombies in it, I did not know what else was going to happen within the film itself. There is a point in the movie where one of the surprises was a bit of a downer as some of the comedy left the movie for a bit, but all in all this film was very good, had action and some decent comedy and zombies.
