Review of Dead Bang

Dead Bang (1989)
1/10
Only for devoted Don Johnson fans
31 December 2013
Nothing new here . Another cop with family problems , dead cop , revenge ,investigation ,white racists … It's all been done before and with better results.

There is one thing I learned from this movie – don't chase a guy when you have a hangover. Don Johnson tries very hard to bring life in an uninteresting character and he deserves some praise for that. There is nice shootout at the end. There is simplistic anti-racist message . There are some funny moments here and there (telephone scene). Some investigation and action. Some unintentionally funny ideas (FBI agent who doesn't like swearing and looks like straight from "Police academy" , psychiatrist who looks like Woody Allen)

It's not a terrible movie , but it is a waste of time. This movie is like a love story in it – appears for a while , then quickly disappears and doesn't stay with you. As for John Frankheimer… All I can say it's that we all need to pay taxes.

I give it 1/10.
