This is one of my favorite "Urban Action/Suspense" films... 110th Street is the invisible line after Central Park that divides "us" from "them" in this film. The whites and the mob, and the blacks and Harlem. - -Its tempting to call it Blaxploitation, but the film with its images of despair, people trying to make it and the turbulent relationship between an idealistic black cop and the old, street wise white cop on the take, both out to find out what the mob is doing in Harlem (while the mob is out to find money stolen from them by whatever means necessary) is so message based and realistic, and some of the scenes are so memorable (great acting by Yaphet Koto, Anthony Quinn and the entire cast, excellent shooting, great soundtrack by Bobby Womack and J.J. Johnson) its hard to classify it as such. There is incredible depth between the charactors, and its not merely "the man" vs. the community. Everyone is trying to make it doing whatever they have to do to survive (as Womack states in teh theme music.) Anthony Quinn's charactor, on the take from the mob for the years is forced to bite the hand that feeds him, and realizes he's growing old and part of a dying breed as he struggles to survive and reconsider his loyalties, attitudes and allegences. Meanwhile, everyone is out to find the missing money and prevent a war. The film is suspenseful, long and engaging... the ending, to be quite honest bleak and depressing, yet it will warent repeated viewing... hence I reccomend buying not renting it... afterwords, check out "Cornbread Earl and Me" and "Cotton Comes to Harlem". - - Does anyone remember the name of the film shot in that era about the Afro-American boy who falls in love with the Spanish girl, and that has an appearence by Jose Feliciano ?

Fisrt things first. Some viewers might take this film for so-called blaxploitation film like "Coffy" or "Shaft." Though they have something in common at certain places, "Across the 110th Street" belongs to different genre, namely, a film noir. Or, if you don't get it, imagine "48HRS" without Eddie Murphy's fast talk. You will get a closer picture.
"Across the 110th Street" begins with a botched robbery in New York City by three men disguised as cops. One false move, and seven dead bodies. The gangsters, to teach some lesson to them, start thier own investigation while a corrupt cop Quinn (whose moral sense is not still dead) reluctantly joins force with no-nonsense, clean-cut Kotto. The film portrays the violent aftermath of the robbery with fast-paced speed, and its tightly-knit plot construction and very authentic locations on Harlem of the 70s -- helped by dim lighting and deserted buildings -- lend the entire film great power to draw the audience to the screen. The story is a little bit trite, I admit, but its grim violence and realistic characters depicted in the film attract your heart, sometimes even in the most morbid scene.
But the greatest achievement is two leads: Quinn (who also co-exective produced) often blows up his films with hammy performance, but here he subdues his acting to a convincing degree so that he succeeds in establishing a cop we feel sympathy with, who is clearly heading for the end of his career. Also impressive is Kotto, who tends to be typecast as villain whenever crimes are handled in films. Now his charismatic presence is not wasted, but enhanced effectively along with a veteran cop Quinn.

Great movie acting casting directing and story was perfect very realistic. I was a Law enforcement Official working during those times. I found it very authentic realistic to reel life of that time unfortunately it was a terrible time for the people in New York City. I recommend that people to see this movie see how the city is changed for the better.

It is a damn shame that Across 110th Street's DVD was not more widely circulated, though I am quite thankful for this digital version. The film is on-par with the majority of the classic gritty police films of the early seventies. Across 110th Street is certainly worth your time and makes for a great experience overall.

Bobby Womack's awesome theme song opens the film as we get some overhead shots of gritty parts of Manhattan, circa 1972. 110th Street is the boundary between Harlem and Central Park; interestingly enough, the word "Harlem" is rarely, if ever uttered in this straightforward, very visceral and serious urban drama, commonly considered "blaxploitation" but really, apart from a couple of scenes, belonging to a different world of intent than something like SHAFT or THE MACK altogether.

Five guys in a room, making a deal. Lots of money in a briefcase. But into the scene burst a couple of New York's finest - or are they? Somebody reaches for a gun when he should know better, and before long seven men, black and white, including two real cops are dead. The $300,000 is missing, and wanted by the mobsters it belonged to; and the three black men responsible are wanted by the real police. Anthony Quinn is Captain Mattelli, 55 and not wanting to retire but feeling pushed, especially when he's replaced as the leader of this investigation by the younger and less senior African-American Lt. Pope (Yaphet Kotto) for obviously political reasons. Mattelli being more-or-less a good cop who knows when to follow orders doesn't put up TOO much of a fuss though he doesn't much like Pope and the feeling is mutual. They have no leads at first, until they find the getaway car, but there's a snitch in the department, and soon the mob starts to learn something about the three men who stole the money as well.

Henry J Jackson - flamboyant, loud and flashy and played not surprisingly by Antonio Fargas, who specialized in the fey pimp and pusher roles - is the first to be found, and punished, by the mob's chief enforcer, Nick (Anthony Franciosa).
