Mean Streak (1999)
A tough, uncompromising look at prejudice
1 July 1999 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I had some qualms about watching this film, given its TV-M rating, which it deserves for strong adult language, a relatively graphic sex scene, and an extended shot of a topless dancer in a bar BUT, toss all that out and this is a VERY good film about prejudice, good enough it's made me be more introspective on my own attitudes towards other races. There are many people, like Scott Bakula's character Lou, who aren't even aware they are bigots. When Lou has to work with a black FBI agent (played by Leon), Lou discovers his own underlying prejudices. Because of the adult content, I cannot recommend this for the under 17 crowd, but it's something adults should see.
