Title: Surprisingly Good Movie!
Product review: I purchased this movie thinking it would make a fine edition to my blaxploitation collection. However, I was most surprised to find that, instead of the majority of films in that genre, this was a serious, well-acted movie with an excellent plot. The story of a young man who set his sites on becoming a crime kingpin and succedes only too well is intelligently written and makes for a movie that takes us into the life of a career criminal. Gloria Hendry is superb and redeems herself from her campy portrayal in Black Belt Jones. I found myself captivated from beginning to end. I give it 4 stars only because the production aspect could have been a bit better, but they probably worked with a limited budget and made the most of it. Highly recommended as a look into the life of a young black man who decided to choose the criminal path and follow it to its extreme expression.
