Format: DVD
This incredible film was (mis)sold as a blaxploitation piece when it was released and, unfortunately, the label has stuck. (The US DVD is part of a black collection called "Soul Cinema").

Personally, I love blaxploitation movies for their brazen, unsubtle approach and mostly poor production values, but I can also understand why they do not interest a lot of people. Therein lies the tragedy of this great movie, as it bears very little resemblance to blaxploitation other than the fact that it has black people in it. It's pretty low budget, but it's a far cry from the clumsy and mindless tones of Bucktown, the gratuitous titillation of Coffy or the pounding social vengeance of Black Caesar. Even the better received titles like Shaft are unfair comparisons to this. This is no cheap thrill, this is very finely crafted and brilliantly acted piece of cinema.

Across 110th Street is really one third cop character piece, one third Mafia crime/revenge thriller, and one third (black) social drama. This could've been a very clumsy affair but is pulled off extraordinarily well by virtue of having a fantastic script, restrained, dispassionate, almost detached direction (by a man whose most notable prior achievement was a rather dull episode of Hawaii Five-0) and brilliant performances by a perfectly cast group of actors. Aside from a defining performance by Yaphet Kotto, I won't single them out, I will simply say that this film boasts one of the best ensemble casts I have ever seen.

Not wanting to give too much away, the story involves three men from Harlem who steal $300,000 from the mob and spend the rest of the film evading both them and the police investigating the robbery.

Three friends decide rip off a mafia racket,the heist doesn't go as they expected it to and scores of people are killed including police officers.When the area boss Nick D'Salvio (Anthony Franciosa) hears that the crew got away with 300,000 dollars of his money he's determined to not only find them but to make an example of them.Tensions begin to rise within the black community as there's a deep mistrust of the police and also because Harlem is being controlled by a black gang boss under the guidance of the mafia.As the police start to investigate a code of silence kicks in as the hoods try to intimidate any possible witnesses,a black officer (Yaphet Kotto) is placed in charge of the case and he's forced to work with an old school cop (Anthony Quinn) who doesn't always go by the book.The pair don't get along at first as there's a deep mistrust between them with Kotto questioning Quinn's methods.As their investigation begins to pick up pace a mutual respect grows between them and it becomes a question of who will find the fugitives first,the cops or the mafia's henchmen who are using increasingly brutal methods to garner information that might get their money back.When one of the crew is found and brutally beaten causing him to die the remaining crew members decide that it's time to leave town before suffering the same fate.Some people have unfairly labelled this film as blaxploitation but it's much more than that,in my view it's one of the best films of the 70s,the film grabs you by the throat from the start and rarely lets you up for air.People may say that the violence is too gratuitous but for me it's necessary to convey the films overall tone,which is very bleak.Read more ›

Format: Blu-ray
Despite Bobby Womack’s classic title song and the film’s marketing over the years (it even turned up as part of MGM/UA’s ‘Soul Cinema’ collection), Across 110th Street is not really the blaxploitation flick of lore but one of those state of the nation 70s thrillers about New York tearing itself apart at the seams between rising crime, shrinking morale and widespread corruption and racial tensions.

Kicking off with a trio of losers pulling a heist on a mob collection disguised as policemen that goes horribly wrong, leaving a trail of bodies on both sides of the law and sets New York’s less than finest and the Mafia on their trail, it’s driven by characters with something to prove in a world that just doesn’t care. Anthony Quinn’s ageing old-school cop who looks the other way for what he kids himself is ‘just gambling money, not drugs money’ and does his interrogations with his fists wants to prove he’s still up to the job; Yaphet Kotto’s college educated detective wants to prove that he’s not only as good as a white cop but better because he knows where to draw the line; the politicians want to prove they’re not racist; the mob want to prove that they still run Harlem and Anthony Franciosca’s sadist that he’s more than just an errand boy who married the capo’s daughter; and Paul Benjamin’s loser wants to prove that his luck has turned even as his partners in crime (Ed Bernard and Antonio Fargas, the latter driving the crapest getaway car in screen history) meet messy ends. The only one who’s on a winning proposition is Richard Ward's black mobster who sees it as a chance to clean house and get rid of the mob and some dead wood on his police payroll.
