5.0 out of 5 starsA tough, gritty blaxploitation classic not to be missed
By Daniel Jolley HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 5 Aug. 2005
Format: DVD
Black Caesar (1973) is one heck of a good movie. I hate the term blaxploitation that is used to describe movies of this genre because it implies that these sorts of films are somehow second-class entries in the world of cinema. Black Caesar is a first-class ride from start to finish, taking as much from classic gangster films of the 1930s and 1940s as it does from earlier blaxploitation films such as Shaft. Larry Cohen gave us a tough, mean, dirty, gritty film that tells it and shows it like it is: plenty of cursing, gunplay, blood, profanity, nudity, and racism. I have heard that the starring role was originally written for Sammy Davis, Jr. Nobody loved Sammy more than I do, but there's just no way he could have done the things that Tommy Gibbs does effectively. A lot of people deride the acting skills of Fred Williamson, which makes no sense to me; the man is just fantastic in this film.
Tommy (Williamson) grew up on the streets of Harlem, where the living was hard. When a corrupt, racist cop smashed up his leg at a pay-off exchange gone wrong, young Tommy's future was set. Eight years in prison taught him everything he needed to know to pull off his master plan of becoming the man who runs Harlem. Just after he limps back into town, he scores a mafia hit in broad daylight and uses that audacious act to nose his way into the local Family. Back then, the Mafia didn't make a habit of embracing blacks, no matter how useful they could be. All Tommy asks for is a block in Harlem to call his own; he gets it, and a new reign of terror begins as Tommy and his associates begin cleaning house. At first, they talk about helping the blacks in the community at the same time, but this whole thing is really just about the money and the power.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsMissed oppertunity
By Mr. Russell C. Witheyman on 12 Jun. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I love Blaxplotation films, i don't mind whether their campy or more serious like Black Caeser i judge the film as it was intended to be viewed, all are enjoyable in their own right. I can't in honesty give this film anymore than 3 stars though as Director Larry Cohen (It's alive) completely rear ends this movie with his shoddy directing. The story is strong and Willamson is fantastic as Tommy Gibbs, a street punk who works his way up to being the top boss usurping the local mafia in the process. Had this been handled by another director this movie could easily have been taken more seriously by critics and public alike, Cohen's record as a schlock b movie director is pretty bad, even by the standards set by it's peers and Black Caeser never engages as well as it should. Take the scene at the end where Williamson is being chased in a cab by the mafia, it's so badly shot and edited the impact and tension of the scene is never heightened to the level it should have,i know this is a low budget production but so was Shaft which was far more slickly and professionally shot by the excellent Gordon Parks. It sounds like i probably hate this film, i don't, Williamson is superb throughout and is one reason to watch this but i always look at this movie as somewhat as a missed opportunity. I would still recommend this to any fans of the genre but it never quite gelled with me as some of the other movies in this genre did.

As with other MGM soul cinema releases the 1.85 framed transfer is pretty good but not quite as sharp as Coffy or Foxy Brown and a few other releases in this series. The mono soundtrack is unfortunately not quite as good as the others in this collection, the sound can be indistinct in places and sounds shrill and hollow, probably because no ADR or looping was done due to it's low budget.

2.0 out of 5 starsBad-not-good
By LONDON NINJA. on 4 Oct. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
OK... this isn't a good film... and James Brown soundtrack
doesn't save it either...

I have watched most Blaxploitation movies, and even the
worst ones have a sense of style and attitude... this film lacks
both... if anything, I'd call this movie BORING... it is a plodding
plot of the rise and fall of a black New York gangster... I donno,
I gave given this film a couple of views and it just don't have the
energy that I love in other black movies of 1970s, and it has
a James Brown's sound track too! Black Shampoo, it isn't....

3.0 out of 5 starsGangster drama.
By BILL on 20 Sept. 2014
Format: DVD
Black Caesar is not one of the best blaxploitation films. It's more serious than Jack Hill's films, with a negative feeling, lacking in entertainment. It could have been a lot better. The best films that i've seen lately are Norifumi Suzuki's "Girl Boss Revenge"(1973) and Kan Mukai's early "pink" film "The Bite"(1965).
