sometime it seem that hollywood stop make good movie in 1970 . i be not familiar with this movie before i stumble upon it in my local independent video store . what a wonderful surprise . this be a crime movie like no other . it doesn not make allowance to anybody . we see mafia and and black gang from harlem and and cop both crooked and honest and those in between . in this dirty and hard world violence be an everyday occurrence and the movie be fill with ugly and horrible thing . the director mr. shear doesn not use violence to excite or repel the viewer . that just how it be in this desperate world full of broken people .
