Trouble Man

1972 · 99 min

A cool, smoky streetwise thriller that coasts on style and a smooth soundtrack while quietly tightening its grip.

Tagline: His friends call him Mr. T. His enemies call for mercy!
Overview: It seems that masked men are knocking over the floating crap games of Chalky and Pete. Chalky and Pete hire the cool, loose, elegant Mr. T to fix things. Then, the masked manipulators set up the death of a collector for a rival gang lord. It looks like it's up to T to hold a gang war from breaking out, keep the police off his back, and earn his fee from Chalky and Pete.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, betrayal, justice, corruption
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
