Dead in a Heartbeat

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
