Street Justice is a 1987 American action film directed by Richard C. Sarafian.
The plot involves CIA agent Curt Flynn (Michael Ontkean) who narrowly avoids death in a bombing, escapes from imprisonment by the Soviets, and returns to his New Jersey hometown. There he attempts to protect his wife Catherine (Joanna Kerns) from a corrupt family which controls the town.[1] [2]
Despite being set in New Jersey, the bulk of filming took place in Toronto.[3]
Street Justice was Dukes of Hazzard star Catherine Bach's debut as a lead in a feature film.[4]
From contemporary reviews, "Lor." of Variety called the film "a minor action drama", writing that a "good cast is mired in routine scripting."[5] TV Guide criticized the film's script as "clumsy" and "loaded with lackluster dialog and stock characters."[1] Leonard Maltin called it "slow, unconvincing, and instantly forgettable."[2]
