Watch Loose Cannons For Free

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a great movie. Generally I find American Comedies dull, but this is seriously great. The wit is very clever: my favourite being the license for sex, and some of the slapstick is quite amusing. The plot is not deep but the movie is what I call a fun movie.The movie stars Gene Hackman, who plays far better bad guys that good guys, though in this movie he was good. Then there is Dan Ackroyd who simply steals the show with his antics. Ackroyd is a very good actor as he can take on different roles. Early in his career he seemed to play simply comic roles, such as the Blues Brothers, but recently he has taken a little more serious approach to his roles, such as the assassin in Grosse Point Blanc. Loose Cannons has him playing a cop with multiple personalities, and some of them, such as the Road Runner, are a hoot.As for attitudes, I guess it deals mainly with tolerance for those who are mentally disabled. Ackroyd's character is disabled due to a painful experience in the past, and Hackman puts in effort to actually help Ackroyd return to his job and overcome his experience. It played a little part of the film, but not much. Moreso it was an action/comedy flick.The one thing that concerned me was that the title had little to do with the movie. A loose cannon is somebody who does not take part in the team, somebody who is not under control and goes about doing their own thing. Obviously it comes from the times of wooden sailing ships in that if a cannon was not secure, it could roll all over the ship and possibly cause quite a lot of damage. These guys did not seem to be loose cannons, rather they were involved in a case and were doing what they could to solve it. There was no big police cover up and their superiors were not ordering them to desist from the case. Other than that, which is minor, but I tend to drag up minor things, it was a good movie.

GOOD movie!!! I dunno what the other people are griping about, maybe they are easily offended.If you like the 48 Hours Movies, you will like this one.Is it crude? Yes. Is it stupid? yes. Is it REALLY stupid? REALLY yes. Fun to watch? AMAZINGLY so.Although I agree Dom Deluise "Can" butcher movies sometimes, this one he was good in..the obnoxious, fat Triple XXX movie producer. Dan Akroyd as lunatic #1 makes a good performance....Not a full laugh all the time movie, but the one-liners and stupid acts make it funnyAlthough it jumps A lot, and is somewhat..eh..loose-ended at times. it is a joy to watch.They were able to cram SO many movie cliché's and references it was fun to watch because of that!!!(It's amazing all the people in it that you know from other shows. Stargate SG1, Coach, etc.) Cop-buddies, S&M, Porno and Nazi smut and sympathizer, hunted down by Israeli Mossad....Let me put it this way: If you like occasional stupidity mixed with comedy and crudeness...this is the movie :D Plus you can find it half ways cheap.My opinion=9 stars....IF...you don't watch it that often :D Only 2-3 times a year.

It was a torture to stay until the end, but I did it so that I could be objective. This film is unbelievably idiot, pointless, cliche and un-funny. Two great actors, Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd spoil in 2 hours what they had built in all their career. There is nothing in this movie worth mentioning, except the fact that it is so awful. The worst parts are by far where this bomb tries to be funny. A total failure. Reaching the so bad it's good category, but it doesn't make it, so I guess not even the MST3K guys would like this one.

I thought that these two actors would make a good film together...I was sorely mistaken. The jokes were bad, Hackman's acting (if it can indeed be called that) is forced, and Aykroyd is flat-out embarrassing. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't; I was asleep. Nothing worked in this movie.
