A roughie that could have been much rougher

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Quentin Tarantino has called this flick "the best porno ever", but I'm not with him on that. The film is standard fare with a sprinkling of blaxploitation attitude. As a roughie, it's not rough enough. As a rape-driven thriller, it's pathetically inept. Sure it has a hip, laughable retro "groove" and some of the ebony dialog is pricelessly bad, but there are stretched passages of folks standing around talking "jive" and action scenes that must have been shot, all up, in ten minutes. Great title, that's for sure, but I've had hotter Summers at a Detroit swimming pool. Oh, yeah, the film did have great poster art and is bloody in parts. Not enough to get excited about, though.
