This opens well with stark and bloody violence, a colourful 70s look and a glimpse of New Orleans. It seems to take a while to get going with repeated flash backs to that early violence as it gradually becomes clear this is not going to burst into life and is far from being your average blaxploitation movie. At once a little more serious but also rather less fun, this has very good performances, particularly from Glynn Turman in the lead, Jekyll and Hyde type role and Louis Gossett as a crazy preacher. The girls also give great support despite suffering fairly explicit sexual violence but overall this never really seems to be going anywhere particularly interesting.
