5 out of 5 stars happy   October 29, 2008
Virginia Gantt
the dvd was delivered as promised and in excellent condition. And the dvd itself is just one of my favorites I wanted for my collection. A very young Lawrence Fisbourne flexing his acting chops even back then.


5 out of 5 stars Lawrence Fishborne is the star!!   July 2, 2008
Vellecia D. Sivels (Washington DC)
Lawrence Fishborne is the star in this movie, even thought the star is suppose to be the basketball player (who was an actual NBA star at that time) Lawrence steals the show. He did a great job. I would watch over and over.


4 out of 5 stars Mixed Blessings   November 8, 2007
Benny Blanco (USA)
Given the era and how so many films are degraded as blaxploitation, this was one that shouldn't carry that burden. The theme of "us against the man" was explored in a different way as no one picked up a gun and began blazing through the streets. A young Black Man that could have made it through ball but was killed along with the dream; this was told on film and in real life in different ways that were so similiar: Cochise in Cooley High, Ben Wilson in Chicago. The only diff being the man did it in this one and the Black residents that coulda and shoulda, wouldn't.
Always a pleasure to see a young Fishburne work his lines and any 70's baller recognizes Jamaal Wilkes. An excellent movie, just don't be surprised if you feel the pain too.

The movie was excellent. The best thing I liked about my purchase was that I got it in less than a week. I was able to give it to my mother who has found Amazon to be a great place to buy all the old movies she use to watch as a child.

Great movie for the entire family. Lots of good moral and character lessons on this flick. It's not about race. It's about doing the right thing and standing up for the truth.
