Red Heat Movie Review 1988

Two cops--one from the Soviet Union, one from Chicago--team up to catch the Eastern Bloc's biggest drug czar. Lots of action, but at times it seems too similar to Hill's earlier hit "48 Hours." Film claims to be the first major U.S. production shot in Red Square, Moscow.
