Review of Hammer (1972) by Private U — 03 Mar 2008
The quality of the image on this DVD was pretty stunning, considering it wasn't a big budget film and that it was from 1972. Anyways, it's an entertaining blaxploitation flick about a boxer who gets caught up in a criminal underworld that is never fully explained, but that doesn't matter. The soundtrack is funky, the women sensual, and the violence brutal. I really like the moral ambiguity that BJ Hammer went through and the fact that the cops were not the bad guys (to change things up). Just listening to the dialogue being delivered was a treat. Fred Williamson is a badass, too.
Check it out, you jive-ass turkey.
