Street Smart (1987)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 8/08

8/08: Street Smart is a good example of a film that's buoyed by excellent performances but is far from being a finished product.

Without doubt, Morgan Freeman is convincing, aggressive, and believable. Therefore, he secured his first Oscar nomination. On the other hand, I'm starting to see how good of an actor Christopher Reeve was after this and Deathtrap.

The plot is good and entertaining. Somehow, I can't help but feel the incompleteness given the ending. When Fast Black was killed, I thought, "So, they ran out of money?"

All in all, Street Smart is worth watching for the performances, most especially by Morgan Freeman.
