Review

In the streets of Harlem, a man must choose his cause. For Curtis, it was a choice between love and the guns of revolution. Small-time hustler Curtis and his reckless friend Tyrone pick a fight with some cops. Before Curtis realizes that one of them is his ex-girlfriend Tracy, the situation snowballs out of control. Curtis and Tyrone hijack the cops' patrol car and leave the cops stripped and stranded on the waterfront. But Tracy doesn't turn Curtis in, and he becomes determined to make it up to her. Word of the incident reaches Jamal, the militant 'Robin Hood' of uptown. He and his lieutenant, a gun-toting temptress named Soledad have been kidnapping rich white executives and giving the ransom money to the poor. Jamal is impressed with Curtis' bravado and wants him to join his army, but Curtis has no interest in causes that aren't his own. With the police and Jamal closing in on him, and the spectre of betrayal lurking behind every corner, Curtis must act quickly, because the stakes in theis game are higher than he had ever imagined.
