Black Eye

Since he gave up his police badge, Shep Stone’s tried to make a go of it as a Private Investigator. A snoop job here, a shakedown there; work hasn’t exactly poured into the rundown bar where he occupies a stool keeping office hours. But one night, Stone walks into his apartment – and into a room where a murder victim is still warm. And the killer is lying in wait for Stone. Fred Williamson (From Dusk till Dawn) plays Stone, whose search for a murder weapon spins into a spider’s web of suspense linking a religious cult, a porno ring, a missing person and a notorious drug underground. Labeled The Hammer because of his gridiron style, the former pro-football star attacks the role of Stone with the same hard-hitting driving style. From a high-rent high-rise to a dilapidated amusement park, from alleyways to the beach, Stone sorts out clues, sidesteps increasing numbers of corpses and shows tough guys what tough is all about. He gets a couple of C-notes in advance for his trouble. He dishes out much more in excitement.
