Tyrone Tackett's brother wasn't the kind of man to throw his life away. Somebody killed him, plain and simple. And by the time Tyrone crisscrosses L.A. and pieces together the crime, lots of folks are going to pay. With equal amounts of tough and sexy, Bernie Casey portrays Tyrone and Pamela Grier plays a sultry skin-flick star in this first Americanized remake of the iconic Michael Caine action film Get Carter. From Watts to the West Side, from porno parlors to a high-rise, from motel dives to a crime kingpin's sprawling pleasure dome, from corner hangouts to a wildlife preserve, Tyrone covers a lot of real estate, busts a lot of heads. And throughout, star Casey "keeps enough cool for a half a dozen movie heroes".
This brutal, austere crime-thriller focuses cheerless Tyrone in the title role (a tough, amoral African-American Bernie Casey), he's a hit-man who returns home to investigate his brother's death by some mobsters. Two-fisted Tyrone in order to revenge his brother, vows vengeance and spontaneously meets sleazy characters in the middle of sinister bands war and running afoul into underworld. Tyrone Tackett keeps the things moving along until ending vendetta, as he aims to please.
This routine film features thrills, raw energy, adult subject matter with abundant nudism and lots of violence. Plenty of intrigue, funky music, kinky sex, noisy action and grisly killings until finale vengeance. Cool secondary cast filled with African-American actors such as Pam Grier, Roger E Mosley and appears unbilled Paul Gleason. Based on a novel titled 'Get Carter' by Ted Lewis from 1970 original movie and of far superior directed by Michael Hodges and starred by Michael Caine and Britt Ekland. Remade again (2000) by Stephen Kay with Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke. This Blaxploitiation movie was regularly directed by George Armitage. He's a good director with a few movies and expert on action and intrigue genre, such as ¨Miami Blues¨ (with Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Jason Leigh), ¨Grosse Point Blank¨ (with John Cusack and Minnie Driver) and ¨Big Bounce¨ (Charlie Sheen, Owen Wilson). Rating: Acceptable and passable; being rated R for nudism and strong violence.IMDB Reviewer
