    Slaughter (1972)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Vietnam veteran Slaughter seeks revenge for his parents’ murder and is arrested for killing the gangster he thinks is responsible. However, the cops tell him that the real killer is still at large, and recruit him for a mission to Puerto Rico to bring the crime boss in question to justice.

    With a title to die for – literally – this piece of blaxploitation tries to cash in on the supercool black avenger image institutionalised by Shaft (1971). But it’s set at such a fast pace by director Jack Starrett that you scarcely feel the pot-holes of the plot.

    Jim Brown is the former Green Beret on a trigger-happy vendetta against the underworld mob responsible for killing his parents. It has the ruthless efficiency of a well-oiled automatic weapon – and as much characterisation.
