Larry Cohen is a very underrated director. Any jerkoff can make a buddy cop action movie, a romantic comedy where they break up for 20 minutes and get back together in the 3rd act, or some dumbed down superhero adaptation cgi fest, but Larry Cohen had ideas. Real ones. This is fantastic movie encased in a pretty good movie, because unfortunately, this movie has some of, no joke, the worst editing I've ever seen. Movies like Dolemite had it down more, although at least you won't see the boom mic in this movie. This movie should be remade; it's need to be re-edited. One tip, Turn down the fucking music and turn up the dialouge.
just watched the new Dredd movie. Dammit it was awesome. Who woulda thought?
EDIT I forgot to respond to this: I haven't seen this movie, but I've always said that people should remake bad movies instead of good ones.
