Mr. Williamson, in short, can't be blamed for the plot contrivances that hinge mostly on action and bloodshed.

Suffused with socio-political resentment and enlivened by James Brown's classic soul-funk soundtrack.

Rating: 3/4 --
Writer-director Larry Cohen's clever and entertaining paean to traditional gangster films (a la Little Caesar) updates the genre to contemporary Harlem and was a major hit with urban audiences.
