    Heart Stopping Action
    "Daredevil" is one of those movies that after you've seen it, and realized how forgotten and overlooked it's been for all these years, you end up saying to yourself where have you been all my life.

    A fast and furious road burning movie with a great and gritty performance by George Montgomery as Paul Tunney. Tunney is a top race car driver who's hit upon hard times and is forced to go back to his home town Where he first started his racing career. Only to find out that racing cars on the racetrack isn't the only thing in store for him there.

    Some of the best car action scenes I've ever seen without the special effects that they have now in movies of that type. Besides the films star- George Montgomrey-there's a good supporting cast and a fast and catchy theme song that makes the movie really stand out when you compare it to most films of the same genre. And George Montgomery's acting evokes both sympathy as well as bravado as a man caught up with events quickly spinning out of control and over his head and not being able to stay out of trouble no matter how hard he tries to avoid it. The film has an unbelievable ending sequence that's so explosive and eye popping that it will give you an out-of-body experience watching it.

    P.S One more item about the movie: Cyril Poitier, actor Sidney Poitier's older brother, has a major role in the movie playing of all things an undertaker.
