The Final Comedown

This is a very angry blaxploitation. The scene is a siege between an unnamed black militant group which resembles the Black Panthers and hordes of cops who are intent on killing them. From here the story flashes back regularly to fill us in on what led the central character to where he is now. The rage is very blunt and direct and it does show that not much has changed over the course of the last 49 years! This is a blaxploitation film which is very serious-minded with a political message but it also incorporates some splendid action too, with a really great extended shootout with the cops. Overall, a very good blaxploitation offering!
