Plot

One of the most successful blaxploitation movies of the 70s; Priest decides to sink everything into one big deal, the one that will get him out of the urban-poverty-crime nightmare. Harlem and its people are authentically depicted and both the action sequences and Curtis Mayfield's score are excellent.
