My first movie review ever! and I chose "Nightstick"?Well, you gotta start somewhere.This is the first title in my (hopefully) long lasting series I'm callin...
Right to remain silent! This movie used to play on TV every once in a while, and its production values are more big-screen than small. The story is standard cop fare, but the pacing in impeccable. Some familiar faces (Robert Vaughn, Leslie Nielsen) are present, and the performances overall are more than adequate.
Nightstick (1987)- * * * Directed by: Joesph Scanlan Starring: Bruce Fairbairn, Robert Vaughn, Kerrie Keane, John Vernon, and Leslie Nielsen “You need a good workout to get your mind off those terrorists.” Jack Calhoun (Fairbairn) is a New York City cop with an attitude, and, surprisingly enough, he plays by his own rules.
Only loose cannon Jack Calhoun knows that everybody else is barking up the wrong tree, but he has to prove it. This movie's boring. I hate to be blunt about it, but it's a slog. There's nothing all that good, or all that bad, about it. It just meanders toward its inevitable end as you, the viewer, try to stay awake.
