Given that Jim Brown is the lead actor of this movie, and the movie has a one word title, one may understandably think that they will be getting a blaxploitation movie like "Shaft", "Slaughter", or "Hammer". However, the movie was actually made about three years before the blaxploitation genre got started, and is instead a fairly serious drama. Nothing immediately wrong with that, but the actual execution is pretty dismal. While the movie was filmed on location in India, which does at times give the movie a colorful and exotic backdrop, the movie has a very dull story. The thin story is extremely padded out, when it is not predictable or relying on coincidence to try and keep things moving. The performances are nothing to shout about, with Brown (who has never been a good actor in my opinion) clearly showing clear discomfort and no enthusiasm. If you want to see a good Jim Brown movie from the 1960s, choose "Dark of the Sun" instead.
