Dead in a Heartbeat

The return of Judge Reinhold might have been a better title. We seldom see the one time 80's comedy king – and co-star of Beverly Hills Cop, so it's nice to see him carrying a reasonably entertaining movie.

Reinhold plays an unpaid bomb squad expert who stumbles upon a plot to blow up anything attached to a pacemaker. With the aid of a suspiciously coy and over-confident Doctor (Miller) the duo hunt down a mad bomber who has an obvious vendetta against someone in the medical profession.

Whilst Dead In A Heartbeat, is a lot lame, and a little oddball, the plot's so fresh and new that one can't helped but be engrossed in it. The idea of someone putting a bomb in pacemakers, is so preposterously absurd, that I guarantee most people will revel in the 90 odd minutes of thrills here. And it's nice to see Reinhold in a showy role for a change.

This was a made for TV movie and honestly it was decent. The plot was unique and a bit nerve wracking. I don't think it was boring as others wrote, the action starts within the first 6 minutes.

The acting was good, Judge Reinhold has his signature smirks and sarcasm through out.

The thought of being implanted with a bomb is frightening. I thought they did a good job with the effects without showing gore.

Again I really don't get the low reviews, especially the 1's. I get not everyone has the same taste in movies but to me a 1 is unwatchable , which this movie isn't.

If you're looking for a fast paced, little thrill movie this is a good choice.

i disagree with peoples views on the story being original. While watching the film it occurred to me i had seen this film before, just not. This is exactly the same as 'Speed' just with people not buses and a different motive. Yes the pacemaker story has originality and yes the movie was quite entertaining but come on, doesnt anybody else realise this?

This is one of the most absurd movies I've ever seen. A madman who is going around placing bombs in pace makers, this movie combines the standard mad bomber movie with the standard medical chase movie and tosses in the cliche of the bad guy going after the family of the hero at the end.

The unique thing about this movie is that as bad as it is (and it is just wrong to make a movie like this) Judge Rinehold actually does one of his better acting jobs in this movie. (Imagine if Billy from Beverly Hills Cop 1 didn't go nuts and became a normal cop.)

Dead In A Heartbeat was an awesome movie. The best TV movie that I have ever seen. It was so good that I think it should have come out to theatres first, because it really deserves more credit than a TV movie. Good plot, good actors, very good movie. I highly recommend it.
