Reviews for Gordon's War
The picture is inconclusive, far from profound, and the urgency of the theme has been overly simplified to fit the action.
This totally unbelievable 1973 feature about black vigilantes out to break the Harlem drug traffic displays the same fatuous moral attitudinizing that mars most of the neofascist Fun City crime flicks of the period.
