Editorial Reviews

A reworking of Mike Hodges' "Get Carter" with an American setting and a black cast. A professional killer returns home to avenge his brother's death. A big rubout is the key to this violent crime story. From the novel "Jack's Return Home" by Ted Lewis.

One of the better 70's movies. Shouldn't be classified as a blaxplotation movie. Really good. Pam Grier looks amazing and she shows it all. Worth the money

2.0 out of 5 stars I REMEMBER IT WELL, January 30, 2006

This is the story of a bad brotha from Oakland who comes to L.A. after his brother is murdered. He later finds out that his niece gets "forced" into porno and later murdered. He then sets out to murder everyone directly involved, from a porno actress (Pam Grier) to a theater owner (Ed Cambridge) to a man he looked up to as a child (Rudy Challenger) to a mobster (Don Diamond). Don't be mistaken, the Bernie Casey character is not a nice person. He treats women like crap and kills without conscience. This film is not in the class of "Superfly", "Shaft" or "The Mack", but it's entertaining. I was in high school when this film came out and I saw it on the big screen back then (1972).
