Dead in a Heartbeat

Somewhere in the middle. The acting from both main characters are OK, Judge Reinhold is doing fine, and I also liked Fuvio Cecere as Berman. It's a mediocre TV-movie although, as it's way overpacked with clichés...too bad, it could have been better, as the acting is fine.

4/10

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.

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?

Ouch!!! What a horrible movie. I never ever seen such a combination of bad acting, bad action and bad writing in one and the same movie. Dead in a Heartbeat never had a heartbeat it was just dead, flat, boring, and I honestly can't believe I wasted 2 precious hours of my life watching this crap.

It started out awfully, as most TV action movies do, but I hoped it would get better, and since there was nothing else on TV I decided to keep on watching. That was a BIG mistake. It just got bad. And when you thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. I honestly can't believe that any TV station at all with any dignity would produce this. It was like a bad porno movie without the porn. I mean I could have written this script. WHEN I WAS 12 !!!

To sum it all up: Just don't watch this movie, It sucks more than one likes to believe.

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.)
