Storyline

It seems that masked men are knocking over the floating crap games of Chalky and Pete. Chalky and Pete hire the cool, loose, elegant Mr. T to fix things. Then, the masked manipulators set up the death of a collector for a rival gang lord. It looks like it's up to T to hold a gang war from breaking out, keep the police off his back, and earn his fee from Chalky and Pete.

Trouble Man is a horrible movie, but it's worth thinking about.

You can probably figure out the rest of the plot.

Trouble Man is a whole lot of fun. No, it's not the best blaxploitation film of all time, but the soundtrack is composed by none other than Marvin Gaye himself...

It is surprising that [director Ivan Dixon] and Robert Hooks, a talented stage and television actor, would involve themselves in a film that does little justice to their talents.
