Trivia Kiel Martin did all of his own running in the foot chase sequence. When the camera moves to street level with the cop, it's suddenly nighttime. Quotes Phillips : You never should have lifted them up Howard. User reviews 12 Review. Top review. Fun and suspenseful. I didn't even realize at first who the actors were - Mel Stewart a. So seeing these two guys peaked my interest in this flick immediately! I imagine it's a rare treat to see these two actors in lead parts, and they really do make the most fun out of it.
It's great casting - these two guys really have very decent chemistry together, and it's obvious they are having a blast doing this movie. So yes, they are two con men who use race in their cons, and they pull off the biggest con of their life. But then later they take on a con which makes that one seem like small potatoes, and they also have a gangster and a crooked cop after them. This one has it all - early 70's dirty Philly street scenes, Pimpmobiles, pimps and hookers, exciting chases especially a suspenseful foot chase , cool action, decent humor, pretty girls, cold as ice bad guys, and even decent cinematography.
Sure, there are a few minor plot holes but the direction is tight and the film is never dull. There are a few more familiar faces from the early 70's, and Stewart and Martin are having such a good time that the viewer can't help but enjoy what's on screen.
Refusing to abandon his life in the ghetto and a chance at revenge, Folks is taken under the wing of an older mentor, Blue.
What happens next is not to be believed. Only Slim could bring us the story of a hustler, forced to learn the game and rise to the top.
