Classic. Love that creepy planetarium scene.

More of a sober character study than a campy blaxploitation piece, but all the characters here are far more charismatic than complex. Pimpin' ain't easy, granted, but it doesn't make for particularly compelling drama over the course of 2 hours, especially not when every plot development is telegraphed from a mile away.

A very underrated movie with some very good performances with Max Julien and Richard Pryor(who was well known to cause trouble on the set). The movie starts off introducing the characters well enougg and really ties up a lot of loose ends with the violent conclusion of this movie. I will probably watch this again.
