Review of 52 Pick-Up (1986) by Bjorn O — 28 Sep 2007
It has all the looks and sounds of a typical 1980?s blackmail thriller which in this case revolves around a wealthy businessman infidel who is found out and caught via video by ruthless blackmailers into paying them a large sum of money annually and it?s pretty much what you?d expect from here on in.
Roy Scheider is good and the lead and is matched by the equally good Ann- Margret as the mawkish wife. The film manages to still be entertaining and includes hardboiled action and themes. The chief villain comes off as ridiculously over-the-top in a phoned-in performance by a relative unknown.
