Weird Wednesday: Street Law

Franco Nero plays a vigilante in this crime thriller from the 70's.  It was a pleasant time at the Alamo Ritz.  The print for this movie was so old and grainy but it's all part of the experience.  It had a cheesy ending but the rest was not so bad.  In the beginning, we have a big bank robbery scene.  Franco Nero's character, Antonelli, gets taken hostage.  After a big police chase, the robbers leave Antonelli behind.  The police do nothing to capture these criminals so Antonelli does his own investigation work.  Little by little he finds these men.  Lots of car chases and stunts.  Music was pretty cool.
Other than that, nothing else special about this movie.
I liked the movie but I probably won't recommend it or buy it for the Grindhouse section.
