Title: One of the best action/comedies of the 80s
Review: Though the sequel was lame, this first 'Stakeout' has a nice blend of action and humor, along with the lovely city of Seattle as the backdrop, to withstand repeated viewings. The key to the movie is the interplay between Dreyfuss and Estevez. They really give you the feeling that they've been partners/buddies for a while. Their exchanges feel natural and flow easily. The plot is decent and the action comes in healthy doses. And, as one reviewer noted, what's not to like about Madeleine Stowe(?), although she looks lost during all of the action scenes. Redeeming that is the on screen chemistry she has with Dreyfuss. The 'love interest angle' works because these two actors work well together. I highly recommend this movie-
