How does retired cop Joshua Burke (James Earl Jones) get two career criminals, Manny Durrell (Sidney Poitier) and Dave Anderson (Bill Cosby), to follow the straight and narrow? Con them into helping juvenile delinquents turn over a new leaf. But how? Burke has never been able to nail the duo, but he uses what he knows of their seedy past to blackmail them into volunteering.

It's a shame that lots of talented people

It's a shame that lots of talented people were assembled for a script that needed several more drafts. The 1st act spent so much time creating interesting scenarios that we never got to know the characters and understand their drive. Then, the plot interrupts a movie about cons and crime, and puts us in a classroom of juvenile delinquents, who need to learn how to get a job... what? While it's a well-intentioned movie project, the story is too unrealistic about how the world really work and how to solve important problems. If you never watch it, you wouldn't be missing a thing.
