cops go after the drug rings
Ron Leibman and David Selby are Greenberg and Hantz, two new york city cops, going after the down and dirty, the drug rings around the city. And they are making plenty of enemies. Selby had done Dark Shadows, but this was an early film role for him. Leibman had a pretty big role in Norma Rae. And was married to Linda Lavin for ten years! The rookies want to be detectives fast, so they go looking for people to arrest. Which makes waves for the cops who just want to ride things out until retirement. Gritty city. But everytime they make progress (and arrests) they have to take one or two steps back becaused they have angered one of their own.or it might just be jealousy. Good stuff. Directed by Gordon Parks directed Shaft and Malcolm X, Learning Tree. Written by LH Whittemore.
