'Undeniably exciting' is what Leonard Maltin calls this pioneering film that kicked off the entire 'blaxploitation' action film genre of the 1970s.

Directed by Gordon Parks, Jr. ('The Learning Tree'), and featuring the classic score by legendary Curtis Mayfield ('Something He Can Feel,' which was recently a hit for En Vogue).
