Torrent description

While this movie is set mostly in the Black neighborhoods of Philadelphia, many of the Whites are quite prejudiced and many of the actors are Black, this really isnt a blaxploitation film--though Netflix has categorized it that way on its web site. Instead, its like a more modern version of THE STING with a multiracial cast.

Mel Stewart (Henry Jefferson from ALL IN THE FAMILY) and Kiel Martin star as con-men who swindle the wrong man. The old guy they cheat out of $10,000 suffers a fatal heart attack when he realizes he was swindled AND hes the uncle of a mob boss--who now has ordered the deaths of these cons. However, unlike THE STING, there is some rough language, nudity and a very, very downbeat ending. I enjoyed the film and appreciated seeing these two lesser name actors getting a chance to play leads, but hate seeing it branded with the label blaxploitation because many take this to mean that the film is cheap and formulaic--which it certainly isnt. Hardly a great film, it is still well worth a look for an interesting story.
