3.0 out of 5 stars
Slightly Disappointing, 6 Jan 2005
I quite like Chuck Norris and his films but even as a fan i can't rate this, one of his first films, very highly. When you think of Chuck Norris you think of gripping fight scenes, gunfights and explosions, but in this there is very little of that, and its more of a drama than a martial arts movie.Chuck Norris plays Major John Booker who leads a top secret mission into Vietnam to rescue American POW's however they are set up and some of the team get killed. The ones that do get out alive go on to lead very seperate lives, Booker in particular test drives porches and teaches political science. However, one day a nice lady lawyer turns up on his doorstep and starts telling him all the top secret infomation of their mission, some of which even he doesn't know. Booker learns that he, and the other men on the mission are now next on the CIA's it list, but can he find out who's double crossed them before they are all killed. As i have said, there are very little fight scenes for saying that its supposed to be a martial arts movie and what few there are are not particularly well choriographed, unlike many of Chuck's other films. The scenes in the dark at the begining where the troops are n Vietnam are so dark and so poor quality that it is virtually impossible to make out what is supposed to be happening. Overall, 'Good Buys Wear Black' i found was rather dissappointing, however should please die-hard fans of Chuck Norris. For saying that it was a very low budget film, and it is quite old, i guess its not bad, and at such a low price you could give it ago, but just don't expect too much and you might find it alright.
