Review of Running Scared

Came across this on Hulu and saw Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines in the graphic and set it aside to watch. I liked a lot of Crystal's stuff, from Soap to SNL to his many, many movies. I was aware of Gregory Hines and saw him in a handful of things as a kid, but always thought of him as a tap dancer that could act. I was a little surprised to see him top billed over Crystal in this film, but after watching it, it was well deserved. Both carried a fairly cookie-cutter script (C level to me) and turned it into an A- movie in my book (my amateur scale has an A- as the highest good actors can carry a bad script so theres room for ratings with good actors with good scripts a little above). Overall, an enjoyable film and better than a lot better known buddy cop movies of the era!
