Review of Harlem Nights (1989) by Tanner B — 04 Mar 2017
Harlem Nights (1989) C-116m. ?? D: Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Danny Aiello, Michael Lerner, Stan Shaw. Gangster-epic comedy (set in New York about illegal gambling house owner and his associates who deal with strong competition--both criminals and corrupt police--in order to stay in business) written and directed by a great comic actor -- and the result? A disappointment.
Lethargic and unsuccessfully directed by Murphy. Cast gives it a push, but it's a misfire.
