Warning: Spoilers
Not bad. It's fun and features Burt Reynolds and Raquel Welch in their prime...although they share very little screen time together. The plot involves a group of unorthodox Boston policemen (and Welch) trying to nail the "deaf man," who's been setting off bombs around the city. It's not very suspenseful and it's not very imaginatively directed, but the cast keeps its afloat. In addition to Reynolds & Welch, there's the reliable Tom Skerritt, Jack Weston, and Alex Rocco (as an office painting Greek chorus!) --- They're all terrific. The really odd, and most notable thing about FUZZ, is the truly bizarre casting of Yul Brynner as the villain. It's such a small and thankless role, it's a wonder the Oscar winner even took it. He doesn't even have time to strut around with his hands on his hips!
