Film is forever.
Thankfully, through the magic of video, we younger folks can sit back and enjoy some of the old classics in the comfort of our own homes. Such is the case with this 1973 classic from Larry Cohen. Starring Fred Williamson as the title character, this has to be one of the most phenomenally mind-bending flicks ever released. Williamson stars as Tommy Gibbs, a black shoeshine boy who helps out in a mob hit. He's taken in by the Mafia, eventually goes to jail after getting his leg fucked up by an Irish cop, and comes out dressed to the nines, limping a bit, and prepared to raise some hell.
