Review of Rush

Rush (1991)
7/10
Not as gloomy as it should be, but original and never dull.

First of all, terrific cast: J.J.Leigh as young and green anti-drug cop was an excellent choice. Despite she was 5 years olden than Patrick, she acting like real rookie. Jason Patrick act well but there is something missing in his character. Max Perlich as "mister Walker" is also great.

I can't imagine how it's possible, that after all this good choices, Zanuck (or someone) thinks that Gregg Allman should be a bad guy. Allman look like old harmless hippie, and he can't compete with Patrick and Leigh.

The script is really good, but don't expect some action scene. This is drama about cops, not crime movie with drama attitude.

Story is not predictable, there is no stupid and pathetic scenes, like in so many modern crime movie. And Jennifer is always worth seeing.

It's just good movie, but "just" means a lot these days.
