Arnold Schwartzenegger in the role of humorless, ultra-disciplined Soviet police-captain Vanya Danko, teamed with Chicago PD screw-up Art Ritsek (Jim Belushi), to track a Georgean drug kingpin… this is one of Arnold’s greatest, but least-appreciated, action-films. The best scenes take place in Russia, in the banya (public bath), over the rooftops around Red Square, in the mafiya cafe. Arnold’s Russian, spoken with his Austrian accent, is pretty terrific! What impressed me was the film’s close attention to detail: Even Danko’s handwriting and numbers were authentically Russian-style. The machismo of the personal battle between Ivan Danko and the smuggler was intensely Russian, as was Danko’s unswerving conviction of Soviet superiority. His terse correction of the hotel clerk’s question “Is [Viktor] another Russian, like you?” Danko: “Soviet.”, is right-on — Georgeans are not Russians, although many Americans don’t know that. The scripting of a Georgean as the loathesome criminal is actually quite revealing, and surely a reflection of the film’s “official” Russian input . Despite the grimness of the plot and Arnold’s character, there is plenty of dark humor, mainly provided by Belushi’s portrayal of undisciplined officer Ritsek. The humor frequently contrasts the strictly indoctrinated Soviet structure with the (to Danko) near-anarchy of American freedom. Much of the mayhem and carnage wrought during the process of Danko’s personal war defies credibility; as Ritsek puts it: “Why aren’t there any cops around when you need one!” The action genre’s obligatory high-speed chase scene was ludicrous, yet appropriately Russian (everything Russian always seems so much “bigger”…). And the protagonists’ exchange in the end, in which Vanya gets the better deal, is also typically Russian — and proves that Danko is not so humorless after all. By the way, this movie (like all of Arnold’s action-films) is extremely popular here, where it has been dubbed into the Russian language. Ironically, in the russkiy version, all the obscenities have been deleted from the dialogue.
Schwarzenegger and James Belushi make a great team in this crazed action film. Schwarzenegger plays the serious Captain Ivan Danko, a Russian detective. Opposite him, James Belushi, is the comical cop, Art Ridzik, always good for a laugh. Who could guess what would happen when these two got stuck together?
On the downside of the film the beggining is all Russian. You’ll be forced to read English subtitles not able to enjoy any of the visuals, until around ten to twenty minutes into the film. Unless of course you speak Russian.
The final word. If you’re looking for something to do on a boring afternoon, I recommend sitting back and enjoying Red Heat.
