Black Caesar (1973)
6/10
Blaxploitation Remake of Little Caesar
3 November 2013
Larry Cohen writes and directs Fred Williamson in this exciting and well-paced gangster drama, a blaxploitation remake of the Edward G. Robinson classic Little Caesar. While the story is nothing new, it's solid entertainment with enough interesting Cohen touches to elevate it above the pack. Good performances from the entire cast. Williamson does Robinson proud. Art Lund will make your skin crawl and the final confrontation with Williamson is very intense. Gloria Hendry and, in a small role, Myrna Hansen are both hot. But the real star is that amazing James Brown soundtrack. Not the best Blaxploitation flick but it's up there.
