Two friends on opposite sides of the law in the 80’s
A story that meanders and sort of goes nowhere despite the best of intentions. Nice cinematography and great cast though, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell bounce well off each other as two old friends on opposite sides of the law. Michelle Pfeiffer is a perfect addition as the woman they both fall for.

I remember liking this movie when I originally saw it, way back when but this time around not so much. Hideously dated sax music throughout -as all the movies from this time 80s tended to have- was partially to blame but the whole story just felt a bit dry.

On the plus side the cast is superb Raul Julia steals every scene he’s in as Carlos the charismatic dealer, Kurt is sleazy with his cocky cop attitude, cigarettes and slicked back hair, determined to get the girl and bring down his old friend. He actually reminded me of Dano from Hawaii five-0. Michelle Pfieiffer is beautiful and lovely as per, a sweet romance there. Yeah poor Mel, nobody will believe he’s gone straight.

Tequila Sunrise Sunsets Early **
Kurt Russell as the suave, cool, cunning chain smoking cop gives an interesting performance in this otherwise tedious 1988 film. His best friend is Mel Gibson, a drug dealer. How the two really became friends is never adequately explained. Of course, Russell is assigned to investigate Gibson.

Michelle Pfeifer is the owner of the restaurant where the drugs are being sold and so she comes under suspicion as well. Michelle spends the balance of this film going back and forth between the Gibson and Russell characters. The bartender in her restaurant seems to be an interesting character, but his character is never fully developed here.

I immediately guessed who Mexican Federal Agent Raul Julia really was.

For a drug-related movie, there is relatively little action and the shoot out scene at the end, is inane at best.
