Movie Reviews of 52 Pick-Up
Movie Review: 52 Pick Up is a great sleazy thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies with Roy Schieder besides Jaws. It is a classic sleazy thriller with great villians, especially John Glover. The scene with the murder of the girl is hardcore and shocking. When I first saw this scene, I could not believe how real it was. It is something you never forget. I love how Roy turns the tables on the villians and turns them against each other. This movie is definitely worth checking out if you have never seen it. I highly reccomend it. It has one of the best endings ever.
Summary of 52 Pick-Up
A businessman fights back against a trio of blackmailers. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 06/12/2007 Starring: Roy Scheider Run time: 111 minutes Rating: RAdapting Elmore Leonard's novels for the big screen has often proved to be a hit-or-miss proposition (Get Shorty and Jackie Brown are notable exceptions), but director John Frankenheimer is mostly on the mark with 52 Pick-Up. Leonard also co-wrote the screenplay, which stars Roy Scheider as Harry Mitchell, a businessman whose life is turned upside down when he's videotaped in flagrante delicto with his very young mistress (Kelly Preston); he's then approached by three bad guys (John Glover as vile ringleader Alan, Clarence Williams III as menacing gunman Bobby, and Robert Trebor as sweaty, nebbishy Leo), who demand big bucks from Harry in return for the tape. That's the plan, anyway. But Harry fights back. He confesses all to his long-suffering wife (Ann-Margret, fine in an underwritten part) and refuses to go the cops in order to protect her burgeoning political career; he's also unwilling to hand over the money, choosing instead to take on the villains, whose own mistrust of one another makes Harry's mission easier. All the elements one might expect are on display (including kidnapping, murder, and blackmail), coated with a patina of sleaze that features ample nudity (the bad guys also happen to be pornographers), profanity, and fairly graphic violence. Still, for all its arch tone, pithy dialogue, and a plot twist here and there, 52 Pick-Up lacks the full measure of subtlety, tension, and excitement that would make it really good, instead of merely serviceable. The DVD includes no bonus material. --Sam Graham
