This film had such promise. The story could have been very powerful. However, due to poor casting, the story just falls flat. It's a hard look at racism, which exists still today, more than 30 years later. The lead role, played by Jim Brown, should have gone to someone with more acting experience. Even George Kennedy doesn't do particularly well in this film. This was a waste of a good chance to show how truly ugly racism was (and still is). A pity.
