      Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press On a scale of private eye capers, Black Eye is well above the Burt Reynolds' vehicle, Shamus, and a few notches below Blake Edwards' Gunn. Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The gritty blaxploitation crime thriller gives it a good try to be in the Chandler mode. Rated: B- Apr 7, 2016 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member a rare solid film overall Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/18 Full Review dave j The first of 2 movies Fred Williamson made with director and producer Jack Arnold, he stars as a private eye paid to look for a daughter. African American equivalent of a Philip Marlowe movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing more then a blax Rockford Files that Im sure fans of Fred Williamson are expecting a little more. I know I was but it sorta makes sense because director Jack Arnold's work was mostly in television by this time. For blaxploitation & Williamson fans you might as well skip it. Sure The Hammer makes it watchable but you're not getting anything that made this genre special @ times. Really missed the mark shooting for a soft PG when there could have been a smoking hot sex scene between Williamson & Teresa (Get Christie Love! ) Cynthia. Instead it cuts away to a music montage of them playing football on the beach & riding a bicycle built for two. William's Stone sure as fuck is no Shaft Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
