Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Reactionary vengeance movie, blaxploitation style. Having effortlessly wiped out the entire corrupt white police department of Buchanan (known as Bucktown to the police grafters) to avenge his brother, Williamson's super ghetto-black Duke Johnson falls for the uncharacteristically simpering Pam Grier and opts for a life of macho domestic bliss. But not before he has disposed of all his former street buddies (who have taken over the graft) in a finale of massive retribution.
