Detroit 9000 (1973)

Very good, but not great action flick. **Minor Spoilers**

[7/10 · 16 December 2001]

This film comes very close to being one of the great action flicks of the Seventies, but just falls a little short. The opening scene of the heist is very well done, and the shoot-out at the end was great, but a plodding middle section hurt the overall film. A Great soundtrack helps through the occasional lulls. Fans of the black films of that era will not be disappointed.
