this is strictly for pryor fans. just because he was a great and funny guy doesn not mean this is more than a b movie. the script is awful and it just meanders around constantly ridiculing crime and prisoners of war. it balances between comedy and melodrama and keeps falling on its face doing justice to neither. first there are 30 minutes of rather unrealistic and uninspired vietnam prisoner of war time  the guy is playing basketball at one point. how more can you pander to your audience. that prison time is boring and unconvincing and already can easily put one to sleep. back in the u. s. the guy for no real reason at all is considered a war hero. yet he is of course quickly forgotten by the public and seems to be stumbling into all kinds of wacky mishaps. or are they really. we will soon find out. yawn. there are annoying clichés represent his sick mother and his little daughter he never meets and a high end whore falling in love with the hero etc. it is very odd how this movie constantly switches from tragedy to slapstick in one instant. doesn not work at all. overall this in fact is just a bad comedy and does a disservice to prisoners of war. just because this guy was a great stand up comedian and played in a few good movies and died of ms is no reason not to be annoyed by this silly and unconvincing and unfunny comedy. but if you like richard pryor you will probably be thrilled by him reading 3 hours of dadaist poetry.
