- A drug dealer shoots a corrupt police officer. Though the drug dealer admits his guilt, he pleads self-defense. His lawyer, Roland Dalton, and renegade loner NYPD narcotics agent Richie Marks, pursue evidence in his favor. They encounter difficulties from other corrupt police officers, drug dealers, and various street scum. Dalton's life is further complicated by the fact that the prosecuting attorney is a former lover.
- A legal attorney and renegade cop team up to stop a corrupt cop.
- Hey! It's Robocop versus Huggy Bear, with Sam Elliot backing Peter Weller up. When a dodgy undercover cop tries to rob and kill a crack dealer and ends up getting ventilated, it's up to legal aid guy Peter Weller to get him freed. He's got many problems, however. The dodgy cop has loads of equally dodgy bad cop mates willing to cover up for him, and the prosecution lawyer type person is his ex-girlfriend. And he's engaged to be married to a woman who doesn't like Jimi Hendrix! What's a Robocop turned robo lawyer to do? Luckily, he's got Sam Elliot, a straight cop, on his side. Between them, they're going to clean up New York City of all crooked cops and crack dealers (with the exception of the crack dealer Weller's trying to free from prison).<br/><br/>This film is kind of all over the place, what with Weller's marital problems and those bad cops breathing down his neck. He's also got Huggy Bear (Night of the Sharks) trying to set both him and Ellot up to be killed, which leads to all sorts of action sequences that so increasingly ridiculous you'll be wondering which one to pick as the daftest moment in the film. Sam Elliott jumping from a fourth floor window onto a bus? Elliot having a punch up on a roller-coaster? Or how about Elliott attacking an aeroplane by jumping onto it's front wheel and shooting wildly while dangling in the air? That part was pretty stupid, and looked a bit rushed too, as if they were trying to keep the running time down a bit.<br/><br/>That said, it's moments like those above that keep the film going, or else we'd be bogged down in legal procedure and Weller cheating on his fiancé. Weller and Elliott are both pretty good leads so that helps too.<br/><br/>Also starring John C McGinley of "every film made from 1986-1990" fame
- When drug dealer Michael Jones (Brooks) shoots a corrupt cop in New York's Central Park one night, it falls on idealistic, Jimi Hendrix-loving attorney Roland Dalton (Weller) to defend him. But things get far more complicated when Dalton must team up with an undercover, unorthodox cop, Richie Marks (Elliott) to get to the truth behind all the corrupt cops, drug dealers, thugs and goons. And in a plot device later used, interestingly enough, in Night Of The Wilding (1990), the prosecutor on the Jones case is Roland's former girlfriend.<br/><br/>What's great about Shakedown is that it is not mindless. It has real characters in realistic settings. You grow to appreciate both Dalton and Marks. It's a legal drama but it is filled with action as well - the legal side represented by Peter Weller and the action side by Sam Elliott, who should have appeared in more movies like this. Weller makes plenty of funny faces along with his more normal interpretation of Dalton, the baby boomer attorney. Another name, Antonio Fargas shows up, but the fairly fast pace doesn't allow for him to stay around long. Richard Brooks would later be on the other side of the law on Law & Order.<br/><br/>Another noteworthy aspect of this movie is its excellent New York City locations. A lot of scenes were filmed on the famed 42nd street, right before the city was cleaned up. There are plenty of movie marquees on show, everything from X-rated material to movies like The Hidden (1987) and Fatal Beauty, 1987 (also starring Elliott). You can see the famous Lyric theater, among others. As part of Marks' undercover work, he hides out in a theater watching the Glickenhaus movie The Soldier, 1982 (which you can also see posters for in the lobby). It's great to see all this stuff. We're very glad it was preserved here, intentionally or not.<br/><br/>The seamy, New York, 80's atmosphere, along with the quality stunts, largely good acting combined with a story about adults (no stupid kids are involved) puts Shakedown way above the pack.<br/><br/>Featuring the tune "Lookin' For Love" by Nikki Ryder, Shakedown is well worth seeking out.<br/><br/>For more action insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
