Fun, well-acted 80s comedy action film, Aug 23 2011
Enjoyable buddy cop movie with good performances by Richard Dreyfus, Emilio Esteves and a nice change of pace by Aidan Quinn as a heavy. While a familiar subject, the film is handled with panache, and the mix of character comedy and action comes off well most of the way, although it loses some balance by the end, with the acton taking a little too much of the center stage, and the humor getting a bit lost. Not amazing, or life-changing, but more fun and better made than most 1980s mainstream Hollywood films.

Great Movie but the DVD offers nothing!, Aug 15 2002
By A Customer
I awaited this DVD release along with the sequel and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. All three (3) of these movies offer nothing, not even the trailers were on these DVD's. Very dissapointing. Instead they put 2 trailers of other releases they have coming out. Anyhow, even though the DVD's have no special features what so ever, they do however have pretty good picture and sound. Stakeout has always been one of my favorite movies for it's campy-ness and I'm glad Touchstone finally dedicated to release it. 5 Stars for the Movie 4 Stars for the Picture & Sound 1 Star for the Special Features If you haven't seen this movie, pick it up.
