Overview
A boy kidnapped by two mismatched hitmen puts them at each other's throats while being driven to their employers, possibly to be killed. Cohen, an older professional becomes increasingly irritated with his partner Tate, a brutish killer, when their prisoner uses unnatural guile and resourcefulness to play them off against each other.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedCohen and Tate (1989), directed by Eric Red, is a lean action-crime drama with a thriller's grip. The story locks a kidnapped boy in a car with two mismatched hitmen ferrying him toward an uncertain fate, and watches the child cleverly turn his captors against each other. Tense and claustrophobic, much of the menace plays out on the road as professional cool collides with brutish volatility. Themes of manipulation, survival, and fraying nerves drive the suspense. Best suited to viewers who enjoy stripped-down, character-pressured thrillers. The film carries a MagicMovieScore of 6.5.
