Sharky's Machine
Sharky's Machine
Tom Sharky is a narcotics cop in Atlanta who's demoted to vice after a botched bust. In the depths of this lowly division, while investigating a high-dollar prostitution ring, Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties, and responds by assembling his downtrodden fellow investigators (Sharky's "machine") to find the leaders and bring them to justice before they kill off all his partners and witnesses, including Sharky himself.

Burt Reynolds directs this sleazy, slick remake of Laura with all kinds of flair. More than a bit is lifted from Italian crime films and giallo and erotic trillers of the time.
Burt should have made a series of these because this could have been a fun cop series.
Atlanta is the location and it captures it’s sleazy side well.
