PIECE OF THE ACTION, A (DVD) [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1977
• Genre: Comedy, Crime
• Plot: A delightfully delicious dilemma!; ; Two clever con artists go from doing well - to doing good.; ; They're back for the third fun-filled time! Following 'Uptown Saturday Night' and 'Let's Do It Again', Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby play Manny and Dave, two Chicago crooks skilled at ripping off rip-off artists who exploit the poor. They don't intend to give to the poor until a sly detective (James Earl Jones) anonymously pulls a con of his own: they must donate time to the Community Center… or do time in the federal pen.; ; As selfish Robin Hoods evolving into selfless role models, the stars offer the pleasure the best screen teams effortlessly do, while a Curtis Mayfield score and Staple Singers soundtrack tunes make for easy listening. And as it glides toward a grand-finale sting, this light-on-its-feet caper becomes a piece of viewing action not to be missed!
