Trouble Man
His friends call him Mr. T. His enemies call for mercy!
Directed by Ivan Dixon
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A slick 1970s crime thriller built on cool detachment and street-level intrigue, where a smooth operator navigates gang politics and police pressure to prevent violence.
It seems that masked men are knocking over the floating crap games of Chalky and Pete. Chalky and Pete hire the cool, loose, elegant Mr. T to fix things. Then, the masked manipulators set up the death of a collector for a rival gang lord. It looks like it's up to T to hold a gang war from breaking out, keep the police off his back, and earn his fee from Chalky and Pete.
