Enjoyable stuff. I could've perhaps done without the lead characters going the predictable way, but all in all I found this 1989 film featuring Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters to be entertaining. Eastwood and Peters are very good respectively. Elsewhere, there is - like in 'The Dead Pool' a year earlier - a cameo for a future Canadian acting star - another Canadian surprisingly appears, too. Geoffrey Lewis stands out - he is miles better in this than he is in the 'Every Which Way but Loose' films. James Cromwell is in there, as well. It's silly, yet amusing. 'Pink Cadillac' marks the final collaboration between Eastwood and director Buddy Van Horn - which wasn't quite Eastwood/Don Siegel levels, but a noteworthy partnership nevertheless.
Old school movie classic. It's crazy to see how times have changed since then. It's worth a watch when you can't find anything.
