Viewing Notes
A newer blaxploitation flick that stars so many kick-ass old-timers that your head might explode. On the surface it seems like your standard “gangs taking over the neighborhood” movie, but the acting power behind it all elevates everything to a new level. Love me some Fred Williamson!
