Blaxploitation version of Get Carter is a lot of fun.
Bernie Casey is super cool as the lead character. Roger Mosley (RIP "TC") is his main antagonist. And everywhere you look there are hot women.
The plot, such as it is, revolves around Casey coming to L. A. from Oakland to sort out who killed his brother. He's bent on revenge but he manages to find a lot of time for the ladies, one of whom is none other than Pam Grier.
Casey was a pretty good actor considering he was an ex-NFL player - and he hit all the right notes during the big ''reveal" scene. So did Grier, for that matter.
I don't know whether the director was more competent than most or the budget was higher than usual, but the performances and scenery are wel above average for the genre. I'm surprised this movie isn't more highly regarded.
