Enjoyable stuff. I could've perhaps done without the lead characters going the predictable way, but all in all I found this 1989 film featuring Clint Eastwood and Bernadette Peters to be entertaining. Eastwood and Peters are very good respectively. Elsewhere, there is - like in '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-dead-pool/">The Dead Pool</a>' a year earlier - a cameo for a future <a href="https://letterboxd.com/actor/jim-carrey/">Canadian</a> acting star - another <a href="https://letterboxd.com/actor/bryan-adams/">Canadian</a> surprisingly appears, too. Geoffrey Lewis stands out - he is miles better in this than he is in the <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/films/in/philo-clyde-collection/by/release-earliest/size/large/">Every Which Way but Loose</a>'</em> films. James Cromwell is in there, as well. It's silly, yet amusing. <em>'Pink Cadillac'</em> marks the final collaboration between Eastwood and director Buddy Van Horn - which wasn't quite Eastwood/Don Siegel levels, but a noteworthy partnership nevertheless.
A skip tracer helps out a bail-jumper after her child is kidnapped by a group of ethno-nationalist thugs, of which her husband is a member, going by the name of Birthright. The baby is taken as leverage because, although initially oblivious, she has their money!

2 featuredOld school movie classic. It's crazy to see how times have changed since then. It's worth a watch when you can't find anything.
