Black Moon Rising Reviews
This Film Is Noteworthy.....
Because it features a character portrayed by Bubba Smith, who is probably the only onscreen persona in all of Hollywood who can appear to intimidate Tommy Lee Jones.
Watchable thriller
Tommy Lee Jones plays a freelance thief who is hired by the US government to steal a computer tape from a Las Vegas gang boss .The gand members are less than delighted when he accomplishes his mission and set out to get the tape back and eliminate him in the process.With the gang in hot pursuit he conceals the tape in the Black Moon ,a new experimental car with some distinctly high performance features .Unfortunately for him the car is stollen by Linda Hamilton for a hot car ring run by Robert Vaughn .
Jones need to retrieve the car and the tape -no easy task given that they are in a fortress like office tower AND the bad guys ,headed by Vin Rames ,together with a federal agent ,played splendidly by Bubba Smith are all after him ,and not for the purpose of selling him health insurance !
The story is not especially plausible but the vigorous direction from Harley Cokliss helps paper over the narrative cracke .Jones is -as ever-splendid and the rest of the cast are way better than the material
Good action scenes and a lively pace ensure you will have a good time watching this -although one scene in which Jones absorbs a brutal beating seemed a tad over the top to me .It just lacked a better script to elevate it a notch or two higher in the eighties thriller league
