Good Guys Wear Black (1978)

one of Chuck Norris's earlier films heavier on the story,lighter on the fighting

[7/10 · 4 February 2007]

this is one of Chuck Norris's earlier films.this movie i (belive it or not)more story driven,rather than focusing on martial arts action. Chuck Plays John T.Booker, an ex commando who suddenly finds that members of his former unit are being assassinated.Booker tries to warn those that are still alive and find out why they are being targeted. He believes he is also on the list,so his time is limited to find both the killer and the reason for the murders.Chuck actually uses his acting chops more than his fists and feet in this outing.he actually does an okay job in that dept.there are still some fight scenes in the movie,which actually look more realistic than in today's martial arts flicks.there are no flashy camera tricks here.back in the 70's people liked their action more authentic.i liked that about his film.if you are looking for an all out action movie,this 1 is not for you.however,if you like a little story in the mix,check it out. 7/10
