Storyline

It seems that masked men are knocking over the floating crap games of Chalky and Pete. Chalky and Pete hire the cool, loose, elegant Mr. T to fix things. Then, the masked manipulators set up the death of a collector for a rival gang lord. It looks like it's up to T to keep a gang war from breaking out, keep the police off his back, and earn his fee from Chalky and Pete. Then things get complicated. A pool hall, a boxing gym, women's well-furnished apartments, and the mean streets of L.A. give T room to sort out what seems from what is. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

"He's got two guns: one to stop trouble, and one to make it!
14 December 1998 | by (Seattle) – See all my reviews

One badass flick, man!

T defines cool!

He wears 600$ suits, drives a 10,000$ car. Raised in the streets he's been a man since he was a kid!

If you rub him the wrong way, he'll blow up in your face!
