Movie Reviews

ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey...a document of social revolt that still bristles with a timely, and timeless, impression of righteousness and intelligence.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Peter HansonSo fiery, smart and entertaining that the lack of finesse hardly matters.
New York Times - 5/10 by Vincent CanbyIt is such a mixture of passion, humor, hindsight, prophecy, prejudice and reaction that the fact that it's not a very well-made movie, and is seldom convincing as melodrama, is almost beside the point.
User Review - 10/10 by Hasani MPowerful and beautiful display of people of color coming together to fight against a disease that has plagued this country since it's early beginnings. A must see by anyone who is disgusted with prejudice and ignorance.
User Review - 10/10 by Aaron DExcellent book, excellent movie. If you have never heard of this or seen it, I reccomend you check it out. Revolution!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Curtis bA great movie about Post Civil Rights Movement struggle!
User Review - 10/10 by sean hLow-budget, but intense blaxploitation story about a cultural upheaval in America. Beautiful.
User Review - 10/10 by Alfred MFive stars for the sheer guts it took to make this movie in 1973. It starts with a program to recruit the first black CIA agent conducted as a ploy to boost votes for the incumbent president. The winning recruit spends the next few years in active duty making photocopies at the CIA headquarters. After opting for voluntary retirement he sets out on a mission that will forever change the course of American history.
User Review - 10/10 by Dorian WThis movie is one of the best blaxplotation films of all time
User Review - 10/10 by John SMy favorite "Blaxploitation" film of all time. Well it's in the Blaxploitation section but in my opinion it's just as good a movie as Dirty Harry or Deathwish.
