This is a fantastic story that deserved a larger audience. Why it was limited to a television movie of the week escapes me. It's an important story about race relations in Boston, and also marks the fantastic Dylan Baker's first movie credit. He plays attorney Kevin O'Donnell.
shareI agree! I first saw "A Case of Deadly Force" about 12 years ago on "The Late Show". It was once available on VHS & Laserdisc, but has not yet been distributed in DVD form.
Unfortunately Rottontomatoes.com on the Web and Mega Media Depot, Old Towne Entertainment & Sales & Minnesota Media Sales on eBay are all attributing the content of "Deadly Justice," another fine Crenna film, to that of "A Case of Deadly Force," using the 1981 Muse, Inc. summary of the VHS tape as a description.
Hopefully the REAL "A Case of Deadly Force" will appear on DVD soon! I'll be one of the first to buy it!
It's on YouTube now.
