Mitchell (1975)

Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen

Crime | Action | Drama

Overview

A tough-guy cop pursues two drug runners across the city to bust a large syndicate.  Very much an anti-hero, Mitchell often ignores the orders of his superiors and demonstrates disdain for by-the-book development work as well as normal social graces.

Rated R | Length 97 minutes

Viewing Notes

Finally queued this up on Amazon Instant b/c I saw the runtime was 70min. Crosschecked w/IMDb and saw that the real runtime is 97min. That’s a considerable cut! Now I want to track down the original version.

Now that I’ve seen this, albeit the heavily trimmed version, I’m baffled as to why this is currently the 85th worst film listed at IMDb. I realize it’s not high art but I rather enjoyed watching JDB run around kicking ass or getting chased by a car or dune buggy. Very curious to see the MST3K version too.
