Blue Collar (1978)
7/10
Overlooked gem
24 January 2013
How many times can one film be reffered to as "underrated" here on IMDb? In the case of this film it can't be said enough. This is the kind of hard hitting, emotionally involving film that made the 70s such an amazing decade in screen history. The acting is superb; without a doubt Richard Pryor's finest effort. Harvel Kietel is his usual magnetic self and Yaphet Kotto is understated yet electric at the same time. Thie dialogue is unlike what you would hear coming out of Hollywood today, and thats too bad. It hits you in the gut and makes you wince; which is as it should be dealing with this material.If you have not yet done so SEE THIS FILM!
