Heart Condition


HEART CONDITION (1990) - Mar. 30, 2010
A mediocre film about a racist cop who begins seeing the ghost of a black lawyer he received a heart transplant from.  Despite the seemingly sure-fire premise (and cast!  Denzel Washington as the lawyer and Bob Hoskins as the cop) the film just wasn't all that good.  James D. Parriott's direction was surprisingly poor, and the film looked really dated.  Washington and Hoskins were both, not surprisingly, really good, and the scenes with just the two of them were the clear highlight.  But the film itself was just kind of shoddy, and it dragged in parts.  **
