Weekly Volcano's Review

Roger Ebert on October 14th, 2009

A loving and expert modern retread of 1970s blaxploitation pictures, deliberately retro and un-PC, starring Michel Jai White as a one-man army at war with the drug mob and The Man.  And when I say The Man, I’m including the climax in the Oval Office.  Such pitch-perfect dialogue, costumes, music, fight choreography and cinematography that if you found it while cable surfing, you’d assume it was the real thing.  When it’s wrong, it’s wrong on purpose and knows just knows what it’s doing.  Also starring Salli Richardson, Kym Whitley, Tommy Davidson, Mykelti Williamson, Bokeem Woodbine and Arsenio Hall. Three stars
