Young hoods and M 16 on the loose

[searchanddestroy-1 · 25 April 2016]

Nothing special in this story, where two young punk steal a delivery truck in which you have a shipment of M16 assault rifles. Baretta will do his usual job, trying to find the stuff and the robbers. But not only...Also the initial buyers of this arsenal.

Here Baretta is more social worker as ever. I begin to be really through with this show, although I don't regret to have seen and commented all of them. I will resume to the end. But in the meantime, here I am, folks. And I suppose that Bernie Kowalsky, the director and one of the series producers, was tired too of all this. Not so much inspired.

Lame episode (pun intended)

[vdoman · 3/10 · 22 January 2023]

This is not Baretta's finest hour (also pun intended). Beretta keeps pontificating to the two dumb kids about life and bad choices. The mother is annoyingly ignorant about what her coddled sons are doing. She seems to act like she has an IQ problem, yet runs a business. She's also in financial trouble but admits she is irresponsible with money. Everyone is overacting in this episode and/or doing a very poor job of acting.

But to most glaring mistake or goof is that Donnie, the idiot mastermind of their criminal ways, was supposedly stricken with polio at a young age. Indeed, he walks with a limp... right until the end chase scene through a junk yard, when he mysteriously can now run and jump across junk cars. It's a unforgivable mistake with continuity and screenplay on the writers, producers and director's part.
