DETROIT 9000 (1973) MIRIMAX

A classic gangster film with a great cast.

It has been quite a while since I saw this film, and re-watching it was a great experience.

A political get together for a future black mayor is robbed of several thousand dollars and two detectives, one black and the other white are sent in to investigate. They are played by Hari Rhodes and Alex Rocco.

the two find a long road of corruption that leads right to almost every politician and cop in the city. They have a lot of political pressure put on them to solve the case, which doesn't help matters at all. The always sexy Vonetta McGee is a young woman who has some vital info for the cops.

This has a great ending with a blazing shootout that seems to last forever. My only complaint is that Vonetta has very little screen time, and her character is killed way too soon. Other than that, this is a top notch action film directed by Arthur Marks.

Rocco is fantastic as always and plays a key role in the very twisted ending. If you get the chance, check it out.
