Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smitheya distinctive pastiche of the tough cynical attitudes held by oppressed minorities the world over.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen"Paid the cost to be the boss," declares James Brown on the soundtrack, and Black Caesar functions as an itemized bill.
Q Network Film Desk - 8/10 by James Kendricknot a political movie per se, but it certainly taps into the raging sense of racial injustice that the Civil Rights Era had not managed to fully eradicate.
Lessons of Darkness - 7/10 by Nick SchagerSuffused with socio-political resentment and enlivened by James Brown's classic soul-funk soundtrack.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt plays to urban black audiences' fears and fantasies.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Dave KehrCohen's technique is almost laughably crude, but a core of frightening conviction remains.
User Review - 10/10 by Ali AUsing the famous E tu Brute as a model, this film and fred williamson tell a powerful story with lots of action. This Film is not a blaxsploitation film. All of the heroes are black
User Review - 10/10 by David HOne of my favourite Blaxpoitation Movies written by the Genius Paul Schrader it have Style, entertains and have also a Bunch of Messages on is that it shows the Way from a Shoeshine Boy to a Gangsterboss, that Strength, Power and Brutality is the most sucesfull Way to get Respect and that a regular scalawag can turn to a Gangster with Guts too when he gets in Charge and that the Karma is getting everybody the higher you rise the deeper you fall
User Review - 10/10 by Brian BA terrific film. Kind of like Shaft meets Scarface but better than both combined. And that soundtrack!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Alex SVery entertaining action packed gangster film from the 70's. Fred Williamson is one of the best actors of the Blaxploitation era.
