VHS Movie Reviews of Jd's Revenge [VHS]
Movie Review: Glynn Turman turns nerdy Ike into JD...a hard core shot caller
Summary: 5 Stars
I wonder if some writer in the 70's saw the movie, "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" and said it wasn't scary enough? The idea of a black...nerdy...law school student having visions of a lady and pimp's murder while he's wide awake must have been very wild in the 70's when all those occult movies were all over the place. JD had only two uses for women....sex and punching bags. When he takes over nerdy Ike, it's time for some changes.....from clothing, talking, all the way down to sex with his lady. Tell him I'll see him on the kill'n floor. He knows where it is.
Summary of Jd's Revenge [VHS]
It's been branded with the "blaxploitation" label, but there is little that's exploitive in J.D.'s Revenge, a film of well-drawn, articulate characters dragged into a supernatural showdown. Glynn Turman (Cooley High) is especially fine as the sensitive and quiet Ike, a determined student moonlighting as a cab driver, so wound up he's on the verge of cracking. Enter (literally) the ghost of J.D., a violent, vengeful gangster murdered in the opening moments. He could be Ike's own Mr. Hyde, a dapper, flamboyant ladykiller with a fiery temper and a straight razor who slowly smothers Ike's easygoing personality. Driven by flashes of memory, he sets his vengeful sights on fire-and-brimstone preacher Reverend Bliss (Louis Gossett Jr.), whose dark past is intricately tied up with J.D.'s murder. Director Arthur Marks (Detroit 9000) sidesteps the usual spooky clich?s to stir up a modern New Orleans gumbo of ghost story, gangster tale, and character drama. J.D. is both devilish sadist and avenging angel, while the tortured Ike awakens from J.D.'s violent rampages with a hole in his memory but a sick feeling from his imagined complicity in the crimes. The story gets wrapped up a little too neatly in the end, but the dark character shadings and the evocative mystery at the center of Ike's possession makes J.D.'s Revenge an unexpectedly compelling supernatural thriller. --Sean AxmakerAction & Adventure VHS Video
