About This Item
Screen legends Burt Reynolds (Hustle, Heat) and Liza Minnelli (Cabaret, Arthur) team up in the high-voltage action-comedy Rent-a-Cop. He's a hardbitten detective who's seen it all. She's a high-class hooker who's done it all. When a hotel drug bust goes deadly wrong, circumstances throw them together to track down a ruthless cop-killer before he gets them first. Tension mounts as Minelli finds herself pursued through the seamy twilight world of Chicago's backstreets and Reynolds finds himself battling against a man for whom killing is an art form. Building up to a breathtaking climax, the gags move as fast as the bullets as Minelli and Reynolds pitch themselves against almost insurmountable odds. Directed by Jerry London (Killdozer, Shogun) and featuring the fully loaded cast of James Remar (48 Hrs.), Richard Masur (Shoot to Kill), Bernie Casey (Sharky's Machine), Robby Benson (Walk Proud), John P. Ryan (Runaway Train), Michael Rooker (Cliffhanger) and music icon Dionne Warwick.
