Cardiac Arrest

Who is Garry Goodrow, may you ask? I only remembered him, as the sleazy smart talker, Berrudi, in the 83's hit Breathless. But this film, he's running the show, and I'm glad. Most of the film's enjoyment, I got out of his cop character, but he's playing more true to life, as in the character, but of course he's not the most conventional cop. Hey, if he wasn't, we wouldn't have as good a movie. C.A. does show moments of Amateurville, with not the greatest script for starters. Watching it last night, it looks very old now, kind of 70's film noir, which it is, but I'm saying, if the film was made today, and set in that period. The engaging film, which I 'spose could of made better use of it's great story, which today of course would seem old hat or tiresome, has people being butchered, and their hearts missing. The killer or killers responsible, have very expensive motives let say, and I'll leave the story there, and you can fill in the rest. Yes this is an oldie, but it's a good one, you should witness. It is though, and I really re-iterate here, Goodrow's presence and his show that engages you. For a cop, he doesn't have the strongest stomach. His girlfriend cop, dinkying him on her three wheeler bike, is a hoot, or watching him devour a sandwich with his Asian colleague, and their arguing differences were great, if only getting better dialogue. A real medical cop thriller, that's a heart starter.
