Rent-A-Cop has Burt Reynold as the soul survivor of a massacre of narcotiics
that were killed in a drug bust gone bad. Liza Minnelli is a an escort who was the only witness and can identify the shooter.
When Liza finds Burt working store security because he was bounced off the Chicago PD on general suspicion the two gravitate to each other. She's the only one who can identify the shooter and Burt hopes to get back on the force.
This is a routine action/adventure film with Reynolds and Minnelli fitting comfortably into roles they've done before. Dionne Warick has a non-singing role as an escort booker. Too bad that with Warwick and Minnelli in the same film we do't get a single note.
Standingout are Richard Masur as a corrupt ex-cop who is Burt's friend and James Remar as a ruly deranged assassin.
Par for the course for the 80s.
