Joe Don Baker is an honest cop named Mitchell who is a very different character than what you see in most movies. He likes his malt liquor and porn magazines, and he even has a high class prostitute as a girlfriend.
That may be why people don't like it..I don't know. Anyway the plot is a simple one involving Mitchell trying to take down a wealthy crime lord and a gang of heroin snugglers.
His ways are unconventional but Mitchell manages to strike a nerve with James Arthur Cummings (Martin Balsam) who is in charge of the smuggling operation and Walter Deaney (John Saxon) who killed a young man invading his home and who works with Cummings.
Some of the plot is confusing, but it's not as bad as everyone says. There are a couple of very violent scenes that may surprise you, I know they did me.
This film is really no worse or better than hundreds of others just like it. The rest of the cast includes Linda Evans who is very sexy in this film, Merlin Olsen, Morgan Paull, Harold J. Stone and Rayford Barnes.
Ignore all the negative things and check it out for yourself.
