Badge of the Assassin

1985

A fairly bland police procedural with a decent cast, featuring James Woods and Pam Grier. There's some black revolutionary window dressing, but the politics predictably lack nuance. It makes some attempts to acknowledge the multiple facets of police and minority relations, but stops well short of sympathizing with the accused killers. It could've been better, but doesn't take enough chances to be interesting.
