5/10

This one has Jim Brown go on a shooting spree when his kid brother gets involved with Black militants and disappeared.

It's a decent shoot-em-up with Martin Landau in a featured role, because there's always a white actor who's well known for that thing he did, so everyone knows who he is but not why.

The whole thing has a tired air of some one saw a movie and thought that what it needed was more shooting. In this case, it looks like Dashiell Hammet was somewhere in the junk DNA sequences, with almost inaudible echoes of The Maltese Falcon (wth the brutal, futile yet honest cops) and Red Dust, rendering this a decent time-waster.
