Hot Pursuit (12A)

Hot Pursuit (12A)

Action, Comedy, Crime

An uptight and by-the-book cop tries to protect the outgoing widow of a drug boss as they race through Texas pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.


The critical consensus

It’s genial, with appealing stars and fair giggles.

It starts running out of gas and gags well before the end, the appealing interplay between the stars crying out for a sharper script and higher calibre action.

**(*)(*)(*)Angie Errigo, The List, 27/07/2015

A lame, unfunny buddy movie which not even Reese Witherspoon's talent can rescue.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 30/07/2015

Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara team up for a witness-protection comedy that can’t get its double-act balance right – and doesn’t have any good jokes.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 30/07/2015

Maybe – hopefully! – the worst a Reese Witherspoon could possibly be.

David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 31/07/2015

Sadly even half-smiles prove wanting in this dismal mismatched-buddy vehicle for Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara.

Cooper is a rather pitiful caricature of a hapless blonde redeemed only by the actress’s innate likeability which not even the crass script can totally suppress.

**(*)(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Sunday Express 02/08/2015

Reese Witherspoon’s wide-eyed energy as a cop assigned to protect a mob wife helps to lift this flagging comedy.
