ActionCrimeComedy

Set in Kansas City in 1933, Eastwood plays a police lieutenant known simply by his last name, Speer. Reynolds plays a former cop turned private eye named Mike Murphy. Both Speer and Murphy served on the force together and were once good friends, but are now bitter enemies. When Murphy's partner is slain they team up again to fight the mob.

VIBE

This film feels like a smoky, neon-drenched dive bar. It's a gritty, no-nonsense buddy cop flick with sharp dialogue and a swaggering attitude. Expect tough guys, stylish action, and a dose of dark humor.
