Stakeout
1987
***½
Director: John Badham
Cast: Richard Dreyfuss, Madeleine Stowe, Emilio Estevez, Aidan Quinn

An enjoyable action comedy about two detectives who are put on a stakeout assignment. Richard Dreyfuss is splendid as the detective who begins to fall in love with his target. However, the climax is overlong and not particularly funny. Followed by Another Stakeout.
