Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a taciturn law enforcement officer from Russia. James Belushi costars as a wiselipped Chicago cop. Though they go together like caviar and White Castles, Schwarzenegger and Belushi are forced to team up to collar the Soviet Union's most notorious drug lord. Thus does director Walter Hill recycle his 48 Hours formula for another unlikely star team. Unfortunately, Red Heat isn't half as enjoyable as the earlier film, owing to a lack of rapport between the two leading men and an overall lack of inspiration infecting the whole project. The one notable aspect of Red Heat is that it was the first commercial American film to stage scenes in Moscow's Red Square. Watch for Laurence Fishburne (still billed as " Larry ") in a secondary role. — Hal Erickson
