Cohen and Tate 1988

Starring: Roy Scheider

Two hit men kidnap a boy who witnessed a gangland murder.

This is a road movie with all the usual cliches pulled out. There's interesting use of light and camera angles and the young boy acts well. Other than that, I found this to be a poor script, an implausable plot with several gaffs and plot holes. The business with Scheiders hearing aid is touched on for a minute or two and then completely ignored again failing to develop his character. The pity is that there's no chemistry between Cohen & Tate, this was essential for this movie to work. 4/10
