BB.5

(out of 5)

Mundane, routine thriller features a great lead character mired in a simple storyline.  is terrific as the title hero, a tough Detroit cop who discovers that an automobile emperor () is resorting to the nastiest techniques to eliminate his own competition (namely, murder). When Weathers ends up unfairly implicated in a murder thanks to Nelson’s scheming, he decides to go after him with a furious vengeance. is weak as a drug-addict who turns out to be helpful in bringing the bad guy to justice, while also winning the hero’s heart.  also appears as the bad guy’s well-intentioned wife. Don’t expect too much.
