In this episode of JayMovieTalk, I dig into Whoopi Goldberg's underrated turn as a narcotics detective in 1987's Fatal Beauty, a gritty action crime thriller directed by Tom Holland (Child's Play, Fright Night). Long overlooked in the shadow of other '80s action hits, this film gave Whoopi a chance to step into a role usually reserved for male leads and brought her face-to-face with drug wars, corrupt cops, and one of the more surprising on-screen pairings of the decade. Whoopi Goldberg and Sam Elliott.
