Movie Reviews of Across 110th Street
Movie Review: As good a 70s cop movie as you can find
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent police thriller from the 1970s that isn't hugely well known, Across 110th Street is definitely one you shouldn't miss. In a dingy Harlem apartment, two men disguised as cops take down a mafia bank, stealing $300,000 and killing seven men, including two cops, in the process. But fresh on their tails are the New York police looking to arrest the three men responsible and the mafia looking for revenge and to get their money back. The only question is can the police find the trio before the vengeful mafia does? Made in 1972 and filmed in New York, the movie has a realistic, gritty feel to it. This isn't super-cops taking on the world, it's a strong, well-told story about the changing times when it comes to crime and punishment and how race issues play into the investigation. Don't be confused though, this isn't a 'message' movie. There's good action and a ton of 70s style to go around.
Leading a strong ensemble cast, Anthony Quinn plays Captain Matelli, the NY police officer who's worked 33 years on the force and has seen the worst the city has to offer. He'll get the job done, even if its not the politically correct way. Yaphet Kotto is a strong counter to Matelli as Lt. Pope, an up-and-coming officer trying to do things by the book. Their methods differ and the confrontations grow, but at their most basic, Matelli and Pope want to get the crooks. Tony Franciosa is perfectly evil/slimy as Nick D'Salvio, the mafia enforcer gunning for the three robbers. Paul Benjamin leads the trio as Jim Harris, an ex-con with no money looking for a better life for his wife. It's a great part as Benjamin makes this character, a murderer/robber, a somewhat sympathetic person. The other two robbers include Ed Bernard as Joe Logart and Antonio Fargas (later Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch) as Henry J. Jackson.
The DVD has the movie in its widescreen presentation that looks good if somewhat grainy. The graininess adds to the mood so it's not a huge issue, the movie still works regardless of how clear the image is. A trailer is added as the only special feature. Don't miss this one if you're a fan of cop movies with a hint of blaxploitation thrown in. Check out Across 110th Street!
Summary of Across 110th Street
Slicker than a Harlem shakedown, Across 110th Street "hits hard" (Cue) with a jacked-up, smacked-down thrill-ride through the hell-raisin' hoods of Harlem! Cooler-than-cool Anthony Quinn leads a hot cast, including Anthony Franciosa and Yaphet Kotto, in a "hair-raising" (Motion Picture Herald) cop thriller that packs a double barrel of "gory vengeance raw, ugly and unnervingly real" (Playboy)! When a crew of gun-totin' gangstas knocks over a Mafia racket in Harlem, their plan gets blown to hell and the crib gets blown to bits! But as the bullets start flyin' and cops start dyin', a pair of New York's finest (Quinn and Kotto) are forced to work together to bring justice to the streets before the Mafia brings the ghetto to its knees! Now, wanted by the Man and hunted by the Mob, there ain't no way these homicidal homeboys are getting across 110th Street exceptin a body bag!Action & Adventure DVD Video
