Review of Fuzz (1972) by Ola G — 02 Sep 2008
Based on the Ed McBain novels about the 87th Precinct and the cops that are part of this specific precinct. We follow Detective Steve Carella (Burt Reynolds) and his colleagues on the hunt for all kinds of criminals, specifically The Deaf Man (played by Yul Brunner).
Well, this was not very good I am afraid to say, and I do not agree with Roger Ebert in his point of view on this movie when it came out. "Fuzz" is just a mish mash of some well known faces, not so good dialogue, bad editing, sloppy acting, a too lose script and obvious Hollywood made up city scenery. I have never red Ed McBains novels either, so I reckon I did not have the right view of what the 87th Precinct should be. Nevertheless, this is a mess as a film in many ways and I can not really recommend it.
