back in 1979 and harry medved bring out a funny and interesting book entitle the fifty bad film of all time . consider that medved be only 17 at the time and that video and cable be only in their infancy and it be a truly amazing book . since then and i have try to see a many of his 50 bad film and trouble man be about # 35 for me . however and a be sometimes the case with a few of his selection and trouble man wasn not that bad a film . shallow and violent and not as good a most film of the blaxploitation genre and sure but not exactly bad . the main character and call mr. t ( not that mr. t ) be play by robert hook . he doesn not have a huge amount of charisma but he apparently one bad mutha that drive a lincoln and live in a cool pad with lot of mylar wallpaper and 70 do dad . how he get all this expensive stuff be a bit vague . he describe himself a a private detective but he do not do much of that in the film instead make his money through gambling and fixing thing . paul winfield and ralph waite ( the father from the tv show the walton ) be gambler who hire mr. t to help put a stop to robbery occur at their dice game . the problem be that this be all a set up there be no robbery and it just a scheme to take over mr. big territory . by the way and i love how people be call thing like mr. t and mr. big what great clichés . well and after be jerk around through most of the film by winfield and waite and mr. t become a tad perturbed and go on a killing spree that be basically brainless entertainment . if you like see a bad mutha kill mobster with his . 45 again and again and then you be in for a treat . my problem with the film be that there be practically no depth to the story little back story and mr. t be a very wooden character . compare to film such a coffey or even blacula and trouble man lack emotional range and substance . still and even with it many shortcoming and it still be a long way from 50 bad territory . while i be not exactly an expert on blaxploitation and it isn not the bad of the genre . for example and brotherhood of death be much bad when it come to act and production value .
