I wanted her to die so bad
A cop saves a woman from being kidnapped and raped and possibly murdered but she feels sorry for her poor black attacker and ruins crazy cop Lacey’s career. I still couldn’t wait for her to die. We need more cops like Lacey. Zero tolerance because it’s a horrible scary world out there. Should we keep giving criminals a slap on the wrist? Hell no. This film could have been better it does get a little slow but it was a good watch. It’s on youtube right now.
The other side of “Serpico”.
Corruption and the smug overuse of power in the NYPD? Never. This is seen through the eyes of two people, a victim of violence who witnesses the perpetrator being killed by the police, and the police officer who pulls the trigger. Diahn Williams is coming home one day when all of a sudden James Earl Jones grabs her and dragged her into her apartment, ties her up and goes through everything looking for drugs. Worried friend Lilia Skala I had called her and noticed that we sounded odd so she called the police, and officer Don Murray shows up and in a fit of sudden anger blasts Jones away. Williams makes a statement, unsure of what led to the shooting, but later changes it indicating that Jones had no weapon summary had no cause to shoot him. This leads to Murray, who has been contemplating a future in politics, going ballistic as his life falls apart and the repercussions of Williams’ sudden change in testimony.This film is very depressing on many different levels, and some of the twists and turns seem manipulative and unnecessary, perhaps rather agenda-driven. The lead characters aren’t fully drawn, and Williams’ character is rather flighty while Murray’s is very cocky. He is set up to be ambitious in a rather corrupt way from the start, and indications of what Jones could have done are never clear either. It’s sad to see the great black hope torn down by such a stereotypical part, although he is very funny at times playing this awful character. It seems that all this would end up doing in its release would be to create racial tension over the use of violence against an obvious vicious criminal with the hint that he could manipulate his victim and expect a free pass.
Fans of Christmas classics will recognize the voice of George S. Irving as “Heat Miser”, even though he had a very lengthy career as a Broadway character actor. There’s also a young Treat Williams as one of the cops and beloved TV character actress Conchata Ferrell as a gregarious barmaid. I did not hate this film, and was intrigued by the way it turned out as much as I dislike some of its motivations, and of course the vintage New York City location footage is great to see as a historical record. Williams reminds me a bit of Karen Black, but I found her character rather suspicious. Murray, an underrated screen and stage actor, goes from law enforcer to creepy stalker, and this transition is never believable. This was a B film that came and went without much notice, and while many of the issues are still controversial, is not a good representation of that social subject issue.
