Down 'n Dirty

This movie has the look of so many other movies....senior citizen kills or whups on 15 or more people in one single movie.The part has been played by many-eastwood,jackson,wayne,etc.They are movies I won't spend any money to watch,too too unbelievable.This movie I saw last night on free t v,the senior citizen hero this time is Fred Williamson.What made this movie different was that many of the characters good(?) and bad were pushin 60 years old or more.Guys that would of looked more comfortable playing checkers in the park were carrying around guns and wearing badges.Some of the thugs were still trying to make their bones late in life,the residents of a rest home might of found them menacing.The women were a sultry pushing 50 or more group.One of the best performers in the movie is Bubba Smith,being a young whippersnapper compared to the rest he may have had more energy to put in his part.One of the main characters had trouble speaking their lines(improper denture fit?)

Nothing original in this film. All these bad scenes have appeared in movies for years. The plot is bad, the acting is bad, the timing is bad. Even Gary Busey, who usually gives a good effort, seemed to be sleepwalking through this one. The good guys and the bad guys were so alike that the only person you feel confident cheering for is Bubba Smith.

If you like Bullit, well, you'll find the same stuff here : a good cop doing his job whose colleagues are often corrupted. Great. I remember how Steve McQueen used his gun in "Bullit" : he didn't shoot even once. Here, the actor and director Fred Williamson kills quite the whole city, to get evidences of stuff we don't understand clearly. The bad point is that it is a bad movie. The good point is that it's so low budget that takes are not done again when an actor reads his script on paper or when others start to laugh in a crucial moment...

It's craptacular!! More of the same from Fred Williamson. He's the renegade cop, somebody is dead, and now he's out for revenge. Too bad he couldn't track down a decent story while he was at it. Instead we're forced to watch while he charms the ladies, smokes cigars, and holds his shiny gun. If you're looking for anything beyond cliche'd characters, flat acting, and blaxploitation rehash, this film is not for you. But if you're up for Bubba Smith's toupee, a pack of geriatric cops "chasing" good ol' Hammer, and more plot holes than you can shake a stick at, this one might be right up your alley.

This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Fred Williamson does it again in a follow up to Night Vision. The Nick Gleem character has me in stitches and the action isn't bad either. Good to see Bubba Smith again and Gary Busey is good as well.
