Nick Lang is a famous actor, well know for his action movies. For the next film he needs the proper motivation and inspiration for his roll. Thus he teams up with the reluctant N.Y. cop John Moss. Not only does he have to put up with Nick who is laborious and out of touch with realities, but he also has to catch a cold-blooded murderer.
A guilty pleasure
Okay, so its not Shakespeare, but I do love this film. It came a little late to the buddy-buddy cop genre of the late eighties, but to see Woods and Fox enjoying ripping the mick out of their personas just makes me laugh everytime.
A nice little surprise
Being a fan of James Woods, I rented this looking for a nice, easy watch. As I always do, I checked out the trailer on the DVD before I watched it, and it instantly lowered my expectations.

A lot of the failure is down to Badham; sometimes his lack of interest in the subject is all too apparent. Here, the action scenes seem flabby and contrived, while the funny stuff just isn't. A wasted opportunity.

Hard Way, The
Amusing comedy that pokes fun at buddy-buddy and cop movies while being both itself.
