Anthony Quinn, Yaphet Kotto
Tough, gritty, violent, fast-paced cops vs. gangsters tale from 1972.
Three black guys rob the mob in Harlem of $300,000 and stir up one hell of a hornet's nest. This was a time of transitions...control of the rackets moving from Italians to blacks and control of the police from old-style beat em until they 'confess' to more sophisticated methods.
Many intense scenes with strong playing by all hands. I don't think I've ever seen a better performance by Quinn. This film wasn't a big hit at the time but holds up very well. It may rightly be considered a classic as time goes by.
