That Man Bolt (1973)
6/10
Surprisingly good...
21 March 2023
I stumbled upon the 1973 Blaxploitation movie "That Man Bolt" by random chance here in 2023. I had never actually heard about the movie. And I am not all that keen on the genre in general, but I figured I would sit down and watch this movie since I hadn't already seen it, plus it also had Fred Williamson in the leading role, so that spoke for the movie.

And I will say that I was positively surprised with the outcome of this movie from writers Charles Eric Johnson and Ranald MacDougall, because it was really enjoyable and entertaining. It is actually one of the best Blaxploitation movies that I have seen, not that I have seen all that many though. But I enjoyed the storyline in the movie, because it was well-written and had a good amount of action in it as well. And best of all, it was devoid of all that pointless nudity that tended to be in these movies.

The acting performances in "That Man Bolt" were good, and it sure was enjoyable to watch Fred Williamson running around in Hong Kong.

Despite not being a huge fan of the Blaxploitation genre, then I will say that "That Man Bolt" was quite watchable, and it is actually a movie I will recommend.

My rating of directors Henry Levin and David Lowell Rich's 1973 movie "That Man Bolt" lands on a six out of ten stars.
