Audience Reviews for Mean Johnny Barrows
Not a bad film, had a point, but low budget filming thats for sure. Johnny is a vietnam vet who earns a dishoronable discharge and is sent back to the states where in 1970 not only is hard for a black man to get a job but a vet with a BCD, no way, so he joins the underworld in order to square things with a rival mob gang. Its Black Exploration at its height. And you only have to sit thur 90 minutes. I give it 3 1/2 stars.

"So long, sucker!"-Nancy (Jenny Sherman)
Williamson's directorial debut. Not to shabby.
