Movie Reviews of Fuzz
Movie Review: Beantown Beat
Summary: 3 Stars
This attempt to make one of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books into an irreverent, cross-talking ensemble piece ala M*A*S*H* is actually pretty good. Some of the background characters may put you in mind of open-mic night with the local improv troupe, but all the stars put in solid turns. The tone is fairly comic, but screenwriter Evan Hunter still manages to really capture the flavor of the books. (That's a joke.)
Summary of Fuzz
With "razor-bright wit" (Newsweek) and "an excellent cast" (Variety), including Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights), Raquel Welch (Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult), Tom Skerritt (Contact) and Yul Brynner (The King and I), this uproarious comedy about an incompetent police force is an absolute laugh riot! Adapted from the satirical 87th Precinct mysteries, Fuzz is "a slick police thriller" (Los Angeles Times) so rip-roaringly funny it would bea crime not to see it. The plain-clothesed policemen of Boston's 87th Precinct are armed and dangerousand the streets just aren't safe from their bumbling detective work! And when a mysterious extortionist begins carrying out his fiendish scheme to assassinate prominent city officials,no tactic is too outrageous for this goofy, ham-fisted squad who will stop at nothing to solve the high-profile case. But can these dim-witted detectives muster the skill to save their leadersor will the city fall into the grip of a ruthless, diabolical madman?Burt Reynolds plays detective Steve Carella in this 1972 adaptation of an Ed McBain novel, and Jack Weston does his cynical best as Carella's partner, Meyer Meyer. A reflection of its raucous era, Fuzz is as much influenced by the antiauthority high jinks of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H as it is by the unblinking violence of The Godfather or Bonnie and Clyde. The mixed result is a tough-minded crime drama-comedy with one extreme subplot (punks setting sleeping winos ablaze for kicks) and another, more fantastic one (a mad bomber called Deaf Man, played by Yul Brynner, is targeting politicians with his surprise packages). Raquel Welch is also on board as an undercover/under-the-covers policewoman, and Tom Skerritt is the beneficiary of her largesse. Fuzz suffered some brief notoriety when it was linked to some real-life torchings of innocent people. On a happier note, Fuzz affords a rare opportunity to see Reynolds in drag. --Tom Keogh
