Review of Maniac Cop (1988) by Christopher L — 14 Nov 2004
Starring: Tom Atkins, Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon, and Richard Roundtree.
Directed by William Lustig.
Written by Larry Cohen.
Rated [b]R[/b] (for horror violence/gore, language and some sexual content).
Running time approximately 1 hour 32 minutes.
This is an entertaining movie, I'll allow it that much. Car chases. Blood and gore. Bruce Campbell's rockin'-good B-movie acting. Sam Raimi's cameo. It was fun, yes. But as far as storyline and holding the viewer's interest for the overlong 92 minutes, it is lacking quite a bit. Aside from that, there are some great stunts, some great frights, and really nothing more. I recommend it to those who like fun. [b]**1/2 (out of ****) C+[/b].
