Fun for its nostalgia as far as 70's styles and attitudes, lots of colorful suits on the men and lots of colorful blouses being taken off of the women, particularly Pam Grier. Bernie Casey finds out that his brother's been murdered (to make it appear a suicide), and when he stops by the scene of the car careening over the embankment, gets a cold response about the supposed suicide by the white road construction worker. "That was my brother" he responds, emotions held in, but obviously upset.
I could have done without the gruesome pit bull fighting scene where one is left bleeding and convulsing before it supposedly dies. Casey has some warm scenes with niece Candy All and tense moments with Edmund Cambridge in trying to find out who was responsible. The film has plenty of action and funny wisecracks, but isn't anything different than many revenge based films of the era, and pretty basic blaxploitation.
