It’s better than its practically nonexistent reputation. Go to Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press 12/13/2019
On a scale of private eye capers, Black Eye is well above the Burt Reynolds' vehicle, Shamus, and a few notches below Blake Edwards' Gunn. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 04/07/2016

04/24/2018 a rare solid film overall See more 08/07/2011 Nothing more then a blax Rockford Files that Im sure fans of Fred Williamson are expecting a little more. I know I was but it sorta makes sense because director Jack Arnold's work was mostly in television by this time. For blaxploitation & Williamson fans you might as well skip it. Sure The Hammer makes it watchable but you're not getting anything that made this genre special @ times. Really missed the mark shooting for a soft PG when there could have been a smoking hot sex scene between Williamson & Teresa (Get Christie Love! ) Cynthia. Instead it cuts away to a music montage of them playing football on the beach & riding a bicycle built for two. William's Stone sure as fuck is no Shaft See more Read all reviews
