Getting Even (1989)
3/10
obscure Roundtree flick (possible minor spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
FBI agent Roundtree picks a fellow Vietnam vet acquaintance out of the gutter to help him catch another guy they both know from Vietnam to stop him from dealing arms.

This is obscure, and obscure for a reason, as it's not very good, and probably wouldn't be known or even still exist if it weren't for Roundtree. I like Roundtree but here he isn't very good, and doesn't seem to be getting the aid an actor requires from the director.

This Italian film (horribly dubbed) is pretty cheap, has stock footage, a little nudity, no violence you haven't seen before, and is sometimes quite poorly lit. It looks like it was made earlier, I'd say 1984.

I only suggest this for completists and buffs of obscure 80s B-films.
