Review of 52 Pick-Up (1986) by Stephen C — 16 Nov 2010
Solid 80s crime thriller is a decent Elmore Leonard adaptation (Leonard co-wrote the screenplay). Strong performances by a capable cast and John Frankenheimer's sure-handed direction get it through a few cheesy and dated elements (including an irritating synth score by Gary Chang).
Nothing extraordinary, but a satisfying genre effort.
