| Title: SLAUGHTER Director: Jack Starrett Year: 1972 Rating: ****1/2 |
By the time Rip Torn as a mobster's main hit-man kills the very boss who hired him to kill Jim Brown's titular black tough guy SLAUGHTER... seeking revenge for his father's mob-ordered death... the 1972 anything-goes/gun-blasting extravaganza is only halfway through...
And has already featured some worthwhile actors including Cameron Mitchell and sidekick's sidekick Don Gordon, right at home in a b-movie that passes for mainstream... like something from the Bond franchise as Jim Brown, wearing a dapper tuxedo, walks coolly into the antagonist's crooked casino, winning money and even landing a sexy moll, who at least three of the uncompromisingly racist mafiosos are after...

In that, Stella Stevens has one of her most memorable and controversial roles since, at that time, a black leading man hadn't had on-screen sex with a white woman: not only making some real-life audiences angry, but is what Rip Torn's all torn-up about... while desperately taking-over a Mexico-set mafia that cannot take Jim Brown down...
In a Jack Starrett directed revenge-flick (including groovy fish-eyed-lens' slow-mo death sequences) that could be the greatest blaxploitation flick ever... or at least the coolest, tightest, and most convincing.
