Movie Reviews of Black Caesar
Movie Review: "You see a bad mutha."
Summary: 3 Stars
Director Larry Cohen's (Hell up in Harlem) "Black Caesar" will definitely keep your interest, especially for fans of gangster films. The strong violence (shooting, beating, the abuse of women, etc.) may be a little strong for some, but it's really appropriate considering the subject matter and it gives the film a lasting impression. The important part of the film is its message. The downfall is that it takes its brutal time getting to it. The films few but powerful moments make it count. Fred Williamson is excellent as the crook who kills his way to the top. Little did he know he was going down the whole time. One of the more powerful films of the genre and worth the look and definitely the listen - as James Brown sings: "Pay the cost to be the boss. Look at me, you know what you see? You see a bad mutha." Trivia: D'Urville Martin(Director of the Dolemite films) appears here as the swindling evangelist
