Audience Member Badly made low-budget crime film with a fun cast doing some serious slumming. Very cool character actor Tommy "Tiny" Lister plays LAPD detective Jack Justice, who on his way through Texas runs afoul local racist sheriff John "Dukes of Hazzard" Schneider. That set-up has the makings of a classic exploitation film, something along the lines of "Black Sampson" meets "Walking Tall." However, this film is poorly written, poorly directed, and would have been rendered unwatchable except for the three leads of the film, which besides Lister and Schneider also includes the extremely talented and extremely underused James Russo as a rogue FBI agent. The fight sequences were respectable and I enjoy Lister in just about anything, although there's one dramatic scene where Lister attempts to "act" and the emoting it's not pretty. Overall, unless you're a die hard Lister, Schneider or Russo fan (which I may be), don't bother watching this film. And don't forget to stay around for the terrible rap music video over the end credits. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a waste of good bandwidth Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was very over the top, but the story line was very real. I personally think this might be inspired by the actions of Chris Doner who was a cop turned rogue after he met corruption and racism in his police department and went crazy according to the news, this story seems to be the pretty similar in some ways. The story line is the only thing that kept me watching this movie but the acting in this movie is awful, the way lines that are said are almost comical how fake and awful the acting is. Its strange such a goofy movie would have such a strong and important story line. I would watch this in the dollar movie but i would be mad if i saw this in the movie at full price. This movie is silly over the top "Mactche" (the movie) type action but the important story line that follows modern day society makes it a movie you can watch all the way through Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible acting, major B flick!
