Frans B @FransB Jan 16 Brilliant! In essence, Rush is a powerful, semi-autobiographical crime drama about the personal cost of being a narcotics officer, inspired by actual events. Great directing by Lili Fini Zanuck. With Eric Clapton composing the musical score it is just a notch up in class. Whole cast excels in character. Showcases the very thin and blurry line between law enforcement and criminality. Struggles with addiction and the real dangers of undercover narcotics work. Lots of drama, real life feel, emotion, intrigue, twists, corruption and suspense. Very well worth watching See more Dana W @RT35264359 Jun 26 The movie Rush 1991 was an excellent movie when I saw it for the first time. However, near the end of it, without a spoiler alert, it was extremely difficult especially when it came to the near end. It was very depressing when Kristen Cates tried to save her partner after getting shot in the thigh, but was unsuccessful. I also wished that there had been a warning towards the beginning of the movie containing difficult content, especially with that scene. Every time I see that movie especially that particular scene, unfortunately, I want to cry. Otherwise it was a good movie.

Comes off as overly important, subdued and inauthentic. But that's just my opinion. See more Carolan S @RT46342448 03/13/2025 I thought this movie was excellent. The acting is excellent and the story is really believable. I think that some of those undercover narcs do end up needing help to get off the drugs they indulge in. See more Ben D @RT87620530 09/18/2024 Detective Jim Raynor (Jason Patric) appears to have taken the job as an undercover narc to indulge in as many drugs as possible. He’s also super horny and elects Kristen Cates (Jennifer Jason Leigh) fresh out of the police academy to be his partner, a hugely important decision for an undercover agent, because she’s hot. The setup for this story is so poor that it is difficult to overlook. Detectives Raynor and Cates soon become addicted to drugs and each other in the Texas heat. The ancillary characters — Walker (Max Perlich), Willie Red (Special K. McCray), and Will Gaines (Gregg Allman) — that makeup part of the narcotic underground are all excellent parts to the underwhelming whole. How exactly Det. Cates kicks the addiction is never addressed. Moreover, there’s a scene where Det. Raynor pulls a syringe with more bubbles in it than a picnic in July. Perhaps a little research into drug abuse would’ve helped the script. The acting rises above the script, with commendable “body acting” from our co-stars. The shot of Det. Cates driving fucked-up was the cinematic highlight of the movie. Rush is the kind of 1990s action movie with a tinge of subliminal social commentary they don’t make much of anymore.

I really liked it. See more Read all reviews
