    Remarkable movie with very funny moments

    This is a very funny movie, where Courtney Vance play's a work-a-holic (though he is a hit man) and get's set up by his boss (Kathleen Turner) with Regina King, so he will get a private life. Their aquaintance is especially humorous. She is very persistant in getting to know him, and as they spend more time together he falls in love with her. Then he needs to get out of his business, but when Eddie leaves, he has to face the consequences and become target of the agency.

    The great thing of Love and action in Chicago is they combine action and love in no ordinary way

    A very remarkable sentence by Regina King: 'I haven't asked you to sleep with me..... Yet!'

    Great offbeat fun!

    It you like movies that can be viewed several times this is the movie for you. "Love And Action In Chicago" gives the viewer something to think about it doesn't insult the viewers intelligence. This film is quirky kind of like "Curb your enthusiasm" either you love it or you hate it but there definitely is something for you to sink your teeth in.

    When Life Hands You, Regina King, Count Your Blessings!

    Courtney B. Vance played Eddie, a government hired assassin who wants to leave his job behind. He gets reassigned to Chicago and paired up with Regina King's Lois. They make a believable couple. Ed Asner and Kathleen Turner played their superiors. The film is also and a bit dated. Largely shot on location in Chicago and Michigan, the film has some memorable moments. You can see the actors talent such as Courtney B. Vance and Regina King even 20 years ago.

    Outstanding!!!

    by Cain (Jan 19, 2009) I just loved this movie. It made me truly believe in that one great love. Regina and Courtney were wonderful actors in this outstanding movie. An "A" cast in a very good comedy. Courtney B. Vance and Regina King are two of the most underrated actors around. It was great to see them shine together in lead roles. And love Jason Alexander, Kathleen Turner and Ed Asner, very cool. This film didn't get a theatrical release and I'm very surprised because it contained a lot of elements that a small but intriguing African-American lead film aspires to. Every time this one plays on HBO I watch. Really great film. Thanks so much.

    Dull.

    To begin with, I have to admit that I didn't see the entire movie. It was too boring. I have never seen such a dull movie. This was just as exciting as watching concrete set. This doesn't really deserve a full review, so I won't bother writing one. I just can't think of any certain type of people who would find this flick the least interesting. It goes absolutely nowhere. Acting is average. Good acting wouldn't help anyway. This is a very bad movie. Mostly because it is boring, very boring if not ridiculously boring. And it doesn't really have a story either. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

    • Trivia
      The poster for Prince of Central Park (2000) uses Kathleen Turner's exact photo from the poster of Love and Action in Chicago. Though being released 1 year earlier than Prince of Central Park, the poster was heavily edited with a gun being held at the right side of Turner's face, including airbrushed red lipstick. The Prince of Central Park poster instead uses a largely unedited/natural photo of the actress, with the gun and lipstick absent.
