Customer Reviews of 52 Pick-Up
Crime comes to L.A. Exciting movie that keeps you guessing until the end. Characters are well developed. Plot is interesting and clear.
Ahead of it's time
At the time this movie came out, Roy Scheider already looked an old man - especially seeing him now, starts me wondering what's his age now, anyway. Still, his acting performance is almost a classic one and Ann Margret is cast excellently as his wife that he betrayes.

>True, some scenes are a little out of date now. They show that movie making has grown since but that's not always an improvement if you ask me. The specific scene where they put Scheider under pressure with a little home movie still is impressively nasty. And even Vanity - what has become of her, by the way? - puts up a nice performance as a very believable key person in the story.

>This movie is about making the wrong decision(s) after making the wrong moves with the wrong people, almost a classical Hollywood theme. But it does just that in an artistic and stylish way with excellent actors and I have to add that it's a very good and entertaining movie that kept me glued to the screen then. And still like to watch it, now. Recommended.
Leonard and Frankenheimer get down and dirty
52 Pick-Up was one of the few rays of light in the dark days when every screen adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel would go horribly wrong and when John Frankenheimer's name on the credits wasn't exactly a guarantee of quality any more, although it sank quickly due to a botched marketing campaign (the producers decided to play up the good reviews by touting it as `The best film this season from Cannon,' which is a bit like boasting about having the least contagious form of VD). A riff on his earlier Western The Tall T, this sees businessman Roy Scheider set up by a trio of blackmailers who, not taking kindly to him confessing his affair to his wife rather than pay up, murder his girlfriend with his gun so as not to miss out on their payday, only for Scheider to turn them against each other. While it's no Out of Sight, it's an effectively seedy L.A. thriller with a couple of outstanding supporting turns by John Glover and a seriously mucked-up and dangerous Clarence Williams III.
