Hot Pursuit
Embodying the personality and traits of Dragnet’s Joe Friday, Rose Cooper (Reese Witherspoon), is a diminutively sized uptight cop charged with the duty of protecting the sexy widow (SofÃa Vergara) of a drug boss as the two are chased through Texas by dirty cops and evil henchmen. Can justice find its way out of this paper bag?
Suffering from an acute humor anemia this supposed action comedy manages to drum up perhaps three solid and memorable sequences, which sadly is just not enough to carry the film overall. Albeit efforts made by Witherspoon and Vergara seem evident, the material just doesn’t have enough depth to mine. The only thing right here feels like the overall runtime, just shy of 90 minutes you won’t feel like you’ve wasted too much of your time, ouch. Hot Pursuit is rated PG-13.
