An Eye for an Eye (1981)
Director: Steve Carver
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Norris, the Great White Hope of the Hollywood martial arts movie, beefcakes his way through an Oriental Connection drug ring with a bullet-proof spiritual aura and a dated fantasy line in abode, wardrobe and transportation. An undercover narc who quits the San Francisco force when his buddy is set up and blown away, his lone-wolf biblical revenge gets further prompts from the ravages of a mammoth Mongolian henchman and such minor irritants as a machine-gun helicopter raid by boiler-suited Triad lackeys. His facial muscles twitch for love or laughter; otherwise it's a frozen-frown, feet first routine all the way to the signposted Bad Guy.Author: PT
