Carl Weathers deserves something great
Action Jackson (Carl Weathers) is a tough Detroit police sergeant. Captain Armbruster (Bill Duke) orders him to attend a ceremony awarding a Man of the Year award to powerful industrialist Peter Dellaplane (Craig T. Nelson). Jackson had been demoted and lost everything after a violent takedown of Peter’s psycho son Sean. Peter has a team of assassins who massacres union leaders of Peter’s company. His wife Patrice (Sharon Stone) cooperates with Jackson. Peter kills her and plants her body in Jackson’s apartment. Jackson escapes with Peter’s lounge-singing drug-addicted mistress Sydney Ash (Vanity).

Carl Weathers is a charismatic actor. This is more or less a blaxploitation movie. He could do better and he has great skills. The movie is called Action Jackson and there is plenty of action. The thing is that Weathers needs to start the movie with a big action scene. The big starting action is done without context and without thrills. He finally gets one later on with a nice explosive car chase. I don’t like the way Weathers ends the confrontation which struck me as being silly and again reeks of blaxploitation. Craig T. Nelson could be a good villain but I don’t buy his physical prowess. He doesn’t need to be a physical threat for him to be scary. Vanity is close to being annoying. The girl is as sexy as hell but I don’t like her songs. Her acting is also lacking. There are some good parts and I absolutely love Weathers. That’s why he deserves something better than this.Read More
