Movie Reviews of Shamus
Movie Review: Politically Incorrect 70's Cool
Summary: 4 Stars
Burt Reynolds is McCoy, a private detective that seduces women, roughs up lowlifes and sleeps on a pool table. The plot is a contrived mix of Raymond Chandler and Shaft, but no matter. Burt is bringing the cool and the pleasures in this movie are derived from straight-banging, unapologetic machismo. A flick like this could not be made today without major compromises. McCoy would be softer, more boyish looking, fully in touch with his feelings. In short, he wouldn't be allowed to strangle people with chains to obtain information. Shamus is admittedly an odd mixture of hard action and light humor, and the ending is a mad scramble, but fans of hard edged 70's Burt vehicles like The Longest Yard and White Lightning should respond to it. And it goes very well with pizza and beer.
