Movie Reviews of The Organization
Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Sidney Poitier fan anyway. Just about any movie he was in, in the 50s and part of the 60s, I loved. This one was no exception. Outside of Denzel, he rates top on my list.
Barbara was excellent as well. She should have been more of a star somehow but I guess, from what I hear, she had drinking or drug issues.
Summary of The Organization
Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Sidney Poitier (In the Heat of the Night) reprises his role as Lt. Virgil Tibbs in this taut drama that exposes the ruthless, high-stakes world of international drug trafficking. Co-starring Raul Julia (Presumed Innocent), this action-packed (Variety) crime thriller is edge-of-the-seat entertainment (Los Angeles Times). Under the cover of darkness, six masked figures raid a seemingly respectable furniture factoryand steal a multimillion-dollar cache of heroin! But these are no ordinary crooks. They're a passionate band of former users-turned-vigilantes whose frustration with the law's inability to combat the city's drug problem spurs them to take on a powerful narcotics ring. After contacting Tibbs, they confess to the break-in, beg him to keep silent and ask for his help. But once he reluctantly agrees to operate outside the law, Tibbs soon finds himself at odds with the police and a ruthless drug syndicate that will stop at nothing to silence him! *1963: Actor, Lilies of the Field; 2001: Honorary AwardSimilar DVD Movies
