Review of Black Caesar (1973) by Sgt. C — 14 Mar 2014
(73%).
Without a doubt one of the best blaxploitation movies ever to be spawned from the era. Fred Williamson is perfect in the lead role playing a character that is far from the good guy, or hero of the movie, as he ruthlessly takes whatever he can get, and with force if needs be. And like a lot of these movies they tried to please the audience with a mix of drama and action that works well, so too James Brown's super cool soundtrack. Of course the movie isn't perfect (the pace goes AWOL at times, and the small budget is pushed to the limit), but overall this is a fine example of the breed, with a good morality tale at its heart.
