Johnny Barrows, a G.I, is dishonorably discharged from the army after striking his commanding officer. When he returns home, he is mugged and thrown in jail. Down on his luck and with no money, he gets a job at a gas station run by a racist jerk. After a while, he beats him up and is thrown in jail again. Shortly after, a mobster hires him as a mafia hit man because of his military training and he now gets caught in the middle of a rival gang war between two families.
A G.I. is unjustly thrown out of the service, and winds up being a gas station attendant. A gangster wants to hire him as a hitman. He agrees, with disastrous results.
Either I have been misinterpreting and misusing the word "mean" throughout my entire life, or this movie's title is completely misleading. Fred Williamson's title character, Johnny Barrows, is about everything but mean in this movie. He's dull, and incredibly indecisive citizen who remains frustratingly honorable even though life is repeatedly stabbing him in the back. Barrows is a decorated Vietnam veteran, but after his discharge from the army (for righteously punching a superior in the face) he quickly becomes homeless, unemployed and has to start digging for food in garbage bins. His mafia buddy Mario Racconi offers him a job as hit man numerous times, especially since a rival clan moved into their territory, but Johnny Barrows prefers to clean toilets at a gas station for $21 per month because that's an honest profession. Yeah right. Only one full hour and one dead godfather later, Johnny finally gets a bit mean and accepts the job to protect a woman who doesn't even fancy him. The film ends with the message: "this movie is dedicated to all veterans who traded the front line for the unemployment line". Oh, okay, so this is an attempt at social criticism? Let me assure you there are numerous of gritty and violent 70's movies out there dealing with re-integration issues of Vietnam veterans, and practically all of them are better than "Mean Johnny Barrows". This is just a boring Fred Williamson vehicle, his directorial debut by the way, with only a couple of notable moments in the last fifteen minutes. Roddy McDowell's role is hardly worth mentioning and Elliot Gould merely just makes a cameo.
This downbeat crime drama fumbles and stumbles as often as it does something right...but there is some decent stuff in this movie along with the dross. Seeing that Williamson directed this, I was impressed at his attempt to portray some complicated issues and relationships in the context of a blaxpoitation movie. He didn't really succeed,but this was an interesting effort.
I am not a huge fan of Fred Williamson (too often he coasts on his good looks and charisma and too often he picks roles in crap like "Black Cobra"), but he looks good on camera and he has his moments. He can mosey down a city street with his hands in his pockets and still be at least as interesting as Sylvester Stallone flexing his pecs in any of his action flicks. So the movie has that doing for it. Plus the character is an interesting study in ambiguity - "Johnny Barrows" tries to walk the straight and narrow after being drummed out of the Army in spite of temptation from the Mob...and yet in the final half of the movie he gives in (apparently for the love of a 3rd grade Sunday School teacher) and proves quite effective at taking out the "bad" bad guys (who can be distinguished from the other bad guys because the mobsters Fred works for don't believe in running drugs and prostitution.) There are racist cops, but also decent cops who nevertheless don't do much to help.And the gas station owner who at first seems like a decent fellow and gives "Johnny Barrows" a chance, turns out to be a son-of-a-b*tch who just wants an indentured servant in place of actual slave labor.
There's lots of problems with the movie of course. The casting is a weird mix of hard working character actors and obvious amateurs and decent talents who are wildly out of place (Roddy McDowall is absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable here - he must have been desperate for work). The big love interest (the movie's Lorelei figure) is a pleasant looking young woman, but she's utterly wrong for the role and doesn't have the focus, maturity or presence to be believable as the Siren Who Betrays The Hero At The End. And the soundtrack is a major irritant - decent instrumentals support a grating, overwrought soul soprano shrieking lyrics that seem to be there to tell the audience things it already knows.
Watch this one if you simply want to see everything Williamson has even been in or every blaxploitation film ever made. Or if you have 90 minutes to kill and don't care how you kill them.
