This is one of the films that I've put off for some time. Finally now I see why it was talked about so much 15 years ago. I'm looking foward to, "Another Stakeout". Stay tune for another excellent review from me.... Full review

So if I tell you that, for me, Stakeout is a guilty pleasure, you will know immediately that what I really mean is that I have a crush on Madeleine Stowe.
But Stakeout does address, in its half-assed way, the issues of voyeurism that other directors, such as, say Hitchcock, bring up in much better films.

What makes Stakeout such a good movie is the consistency of the story line and the craftsmanship of the actors and direction.
John Badham's comedy packed a big punch and scored lots of points for this energetic, entertaining film that delivered a winning combination of story and acting that made it fun to watch.

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
The final scene picks up the irreverent comedy right where it had left off, with the characters playing off of each other in fun.
Things turn a bit violent towards the end, and the film does suffer as a result, with a final twenty minutes that lacks the charm and good-spirit of the rest of the movie.
