Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Predrag "Stakeout" with Richard Dreyfuss was one of the best comedies of the 80's. Dreyfuss has been cast very successfully as a leading man, several times, even though he is only about 5'6" and not extremely handsome. However, he has loads of charisma, and the roles he's chosen give him a chance to showcase it. Whole cast for this movie is fantastic, you can really feel that romance burning with Richard Dreyfuss and Madeleine Stowe, they are really perfect in their roles. Maybe the best couple in the movie history, considering that they are not really compatible she is way younger and taller than Dreyfuss character, but his charisma and humor got Madeleine where he wanted.. Stowe is so beautiful, you almost can't take your eyes off her. And the sensual way she was going after Dreyfuss was completely believable, and on fire! It was the most perfect love scene ever! Also, plot is kinda standard nothing new here, a good police/buddy action flick, with a lot of chasing, gunning and again romance at the end of the movie. Other cast are really good too, i can say that Emilio Estevez played his part really cool and maybe one of his best performances i saw, including also Aidan Quinn as a villain. The best part of this movie is the soundtrack, it is really a great compilation of hit songs from 80's including some of the most popular bands of that time such as: Gloria Estefan, The Pointer Sisters, Steve Winwood, Mr. Mister and The Ward Brothers. Just perfect songs, Higher Love is my all time favorite and it fitted perfect on romantic scenes from the movie.All in all, this is a good movie. It also has some really classic moments--the chase in the fish factory, the wood chipper outside the window, and a number of others. It is slightly predictable in a few spots, but overall it delivers.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Mr-Fusion STAKEOUT plays like your typical buddy cop action comedy (the '80s really churned these out), but its real magic lies in its casting. Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, Madeline Stowe and even that guy that played the captain are all very well chosen for these parts. The two leads make for a terrific pairing; Dreyfuss shows great comedic talent, but most of the laughs come from Estevez's nagging wife in the partnership. The action-centric third act loses steam without the characters' winning personalities, but they're back just in time for the end credits. It's good light fun. The Top 40 soundtrack even seems to fit (probably because I like those songs). But most importantly, there's Madeline Stowe, who just radiates Latin hotness. Sweet Jesus.7/10

d_m_s Another film where it's easy to mix up the original with the sequel.This is a really dull film which, from memory, I thought was more enjoyable.Dreyfuss and Estevez hang out in an empty house opposite the house of the (ex?)girlfriend of a recently escaped convict, waiting for the con to turn up.Much time is wasted on frivolities and Dreyfuss tries (and unbelievably succeeds) to bed the female protagonist. Yawn.Very dull, very predictable and way too long. I had to turn off after about 30 minutes. From memory the sequel is far more enjoyable and a lot funnier.

Amsomnia Studios Stakeout is a classic; it has a lot of funny moments, enough action to at least get you a little going, and a perfect but simple love story.Story 9/10 The story is actually simple for an 80es movie, but it does just what is always needed to get a lot of peers to look it up, you will love the small subtle wits, the overall love that is shared between the two, the story goes a little like this. A evil old friend of Maria (Madeleine Stowe)has just escaped prison, his goal is of course to reach her, 4 cops are set on a rather long stakeout, we happen to see all 4 cops but the story revolves more around Bill (Emilio Estevez)and Chris (Richard Dreyfuss) in the start it seems like it is going to be a rather boring stakeout, the girl doesn't even seem to be very pretty in the description of the police records, as many 80es movies, actually as a lot of movies the girl is of course a rather hot babe, and this movie is no exception, Chris who has just been dumped falls head over heels for this girl, hotter then hot, and from there on Chris have to protect his identity so that Maria don't know who he really is, yet this is tougher then he of course realizes, the rest you will need to find out for yourself.Actors: 9/10 We got a mix of a lot of good actors, the most noticeable is of course Emilio Estevez, Richard Dreyfuss, Madeleine Stowe and Aidan Quinn, this movie doesn't have a big cast, and the rest of the actors are really not the ones catching your eyes, since they don't really have much to the story, but some lines from the other actors are fun enough to get you going. If you are a fan of either of these 4 fine actors I suggest picking this movie up while it is still in some lending stores, I just bought it from an online store and felt that old rush, first time I saw it I was ten years old, I know what many are going to say, this is not a movie for a ten year old and it isn't I can go with it, but as ten I loved it anyway, it still rocks just as it did back then.Soundtrack 9/10 I loved the soundtrack, there aren't many numbers in this movie, but the ones that are perfect for the movie, especially the end theme Is It Love, I thought that theme was fitting like moth to a flame. I wouldn't buy the soundtrack just for the numbers there are on this soundtrack but defiantly would go to a store looking for some of the songs. Mr, Mister would be the first I would sort out in a store just for the heck of it, I couldn't find his albums though but that is of course simple cause his carrier was in the 80es and some in the 90es not the 20es, but if you find some I would buy it, believe me some are worth…Special Effects N/A I know this is an action movie but it doesn't really have any special effects, at least not something you would notice, but the ones there are does add a little to the movie, but in my appointing this movie doesn't really not it at all anyways, the comedy and love is enough to hold this movie even for such small flaws, but other then that nothing…Overall 9/10 Everything is perfect, I could take the count down to 8/10 for the special effects but that doesn't really would be fair at all, I didn't even care for the special effects in the first way, so it shouldn't do any good raising a perfectly good movie down to a lower stage. All the way through this movie the mood has a good way of proving something not many movies can do, even if this movie is a lot like any other movie this one does it better, just my thoughts on this gem of a favorite movie.------------------------- If you saw this movie I would not suggest seeing Another Stakeout it has its good moments but it is a boring sequel and it screws over a nearly perfect first movie, it is just filling and doesn't need to be there at all, the first had every potentials and don't need any sequel at all
