Review of Fuzz

Fuzz (1972)
1/10
Did not finish
4 March 2022
I did not finish watching "Fuzz", I got about halfway, so that means a 1/10 rating in my book. I am shocked by the many positive reviews of this film. I found it to be terrible. It was like a cacophony of random people, sounds, and actions with no coherence, order or sense. And perhaps the filmmakers were trying to show the chaotic nature of a police station, but this just didn't even feel like a film. It had no plot or character development in any reasonable fashion and the talented cast is wasted. It was almost as if the film was intended to annoy the audience. For example, during a big stakeout next thing I know a male and female cop are canoodling in a sleeping bag in the park. It made no sense and carried on way too long. And meanwhile the male cops were halfway dressed as nuns for no reason. A terrible film really, again 1/10. Even seeing a pretty Raquel Welch does not make this film worth watching, and she is hardly in it really. At the beginning I thought she was a citizen seeking to report a crime, then it turns out she was a cop waiting for a job! Again, incoherent. And seeing the guys ogle her and her looks of disgust did not help anything. Interestingly, she obviously knows that she is beautiful and the effect that she has on men, but she does not seem entirely comfortable with that nor really seeks to use it to her advantage. In summary, "Fuzz" is one old film that is probably best forgotten.
