delysid d 11/17/2018 i enjoyed the film but i wasnt exactly blown away by it; not as good as truck turner See more 02/02/2016 Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel with my Blaxploitation selections this time around, and this one isn't any sort of exception, with only a few interesting moments to set it apart from the rest of the crowd. Rental? Maybe? See more 09/19/2014 Review coming soon to themoviefreakblog.com See more 03/09/2014 Don't let your mouth overload your ass. JJ is a black crime boss that is slowly taking over the entire neighborhood. One of the drugs creeping through his neighborhood is heroine. When JJ does some digging, he discovers the source of the heroine is a rival crime boss in a small corner of an area he doesn't control. JJ decides to extend the reach of his gang and squeeze the heroine dealer out of business. The heroine dealer will not go out quietly. "You pimp everything and everybody in the neighborhood." John Evans, director of Speeding up Time, Blackjack, and the upcoming The Accident, delivers The Black Godfather. The storyline for this picture is fairly straightforward and not overly imaginative. The action scenes were okay and the script was fairly clever. The acting was below par and the cast includes Rod Perry, Tony Burton, Damu King, and Jimmy Witherspoon. "I'll fuck you for it." "Close your eyes and pretend it's me." I watched this off Netflix as another potentially interesting Blaxploitation film. I found it just okay with some nice characters and action scenes but a cliché plot and direction. Overall, I recommend seeing this maybe once but it definitely isn't a classic addition to the genre. "I'm the man that recognizes talent." Grade: C- See more 02/17/2014 Watch this on Netflix with subtitles on. The plot has potential but is poorly executed. Most of the screen time is talkin' and walkin'. But the best part is definitely the description of the music in the subtitles. Not that it saves the movie or anything, but it does add an extra star or so of amusement. See more 10/27/2012 Hasn't had the lasting impact of The Godfather but not bad. Unlike Pacino, JJ rises from humble roots (with bodyguard Sonny) up the underworld to take on a white drug cartel who sell to ghetto kids. Black crimelords apparently have more scruples.
