Stakeout (1985)
Country: US
Technical: col 117m
Director: John Badham
Cast: Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, Madeleine Stowe, Aidan Quinn
Synopsis:
A dangerous convict escapes prison, and two cops are assigned to stake out his girlfriend, in anticipation of a visit from him. Things get complicated, however, when the senior partner falls for her, and she for him.
Review:
This highly profitable crowd-pleaser modishly combined laughs, romance and a sense of danger, thanks to the interactions of its characters, while adding a sweaty, voyeuristic vibe of its own. A sequel, Another Stakeout, came too late (1993) and lost Stowe, so the magic was absent.
