Lino Ventura, Isaac Hayes, and Fred Williamson make Three Tough Guys worth seeing
Having previously been in Black Caesar and its sequel, Hell Up in Harlem, it's not too surprising to see Fred Williamson play the kind of role that's the opposite of his usual good guy. As such, he's not in the movie very long despite his name being one of the three above the title. The other two are Lino Ventura and Isaac Hayes, the latter making his film debut as well as contributing the music score not unlike what he did for the original Shaft. Ventura is a priest and Hayes is an ex-cop who's looking for the same people for different reasons. I'll just now say this was quite an exciting thriller taking place in the city of Chicago during the time I lived there as a child with my family. Unfortunately, the print I watched online was a second generation one looking nearly blurry throughout. Still, I recommend Three Tough Guys. P. S. I also like Paula Kelly in this.
