Title: The violence and sex is never gratuitous
Product review: I keep remembering "The Big Payback," which came out right after this gansta movie. I think James must have seen it a few times and finally got the theme after the movie was done. There is violence against women in this one. If you are using today's morals, it is totally too macho and male dominated for today's time. But the violence all is a dance with a simple meaning at the end. The woman he rapes gets her payback. America is a place of isolation and if you see the characters in that light and in terms of the 70s, this was better than Shaft, but a notch below Superfly. It explains street thinking without glorifying it."Here's a dime boy. Give me a shine boy!"
