Surprisingly good late Blaxploitation flick in which Calvin Lockhart plays an aspiring film producer who has only days to repay the mob the $300,000 he borrowed to make a movie. Richard Lynch is great fun as the psycho mob boss after his money, and so is Charles McGregor as the drug dealer who neglected to inform Lockhart that the loan was mob money. An ageing Joan Blondell also appears as the Sugar Mama Lockhart turns to when things get really desperate. Only a weak finish lets things down a little.
