Pink Cadillac

Clint Eastwood plays a bounty hunter who helps out the wife (Bernadette Peters) of a bail-jumper after her child is kidnapped by neo-Nazi types. A long, entirely forgettable comedy with an uneven tone, this is purely for diehard fans of Eastwood's erratic work before Unforgiven bumped him up to the A list. Better Eastwood choices from around the same time as this film (1989) include Tightrope, The Dead Pool, and White Hunter, Black Heart. Little known at the time, Jim Carrey has a small part in this throwaway Eastwood film (directed by Eastwood's sometime-collaborator, Buddy Van Horn). --Tom Keogh
