delysid d @RT67044741 07/30/2018 the movie i saw had terrible dubbing problems. like, the actors mouth would move and then a second later you would hear their voice See more 01/22/2014 From The Blaxpolitation Triple Feature Collection put out by Diamond Entertainment, is a serious film about black revolutionaries and not really an action film. Billy Dee plays a young man fed up with racism who decides to take things into his own hands. It's fairly gritty and realistic without exploiting the characters but still it's not that interesting either and Billy Dee's character, though maltreated by white authority figures, doesn't really come off as sympathetic. It's also hurt by it's extremely low budget. Still, it's interesting to look at as it's a good depicttion of 1970s social issues. 2 Stars 7-12-04 (Updated) See more 08/16/2013 The Final Comedown is a surprisingly good blaxploitation film that I could actually take seriously. Unlike most other films of its kind, it actually works as a political film thanks to solid writing and strong performances from the cast. While the film can be hammy at times, it does succeed at what it aims to do. I was also surprised by how strange and surreal some of the imagery was, which gave the film a dreamlike quality at times. I think this is a very underrated film that is much better than expected. See more 10/27/2012 An angry Billy Dee Williams uses a gun to fight back on grim racial inequality in the early 1970's. Billy Dee lacks the style here that he would go on to showcase for years in his Colt 45 ads. See more 01/25/2011 An interesting experiment. Too experimental and didactic to really work as a movie. See more 02/25/2010 Most of the film centers on a ridiculous alleyway SWAT assault, hundreds of police rifles centered on Billy Dee Williams’ gut shot rebel. I can’t think of another movie with a higher body count (maybe Schwarzenegger’s Commando); there must be at least 40-50 people randomly killed over the course of the movie. The other part of the film is dealt out in flashback, various folks having to suffer through Billy Dee’s hate filled blather and I found myself having a real hard time feeling sorry for such an arrogant, idealess, one dimensional fool. I love young Billy Dee Williams and I wish films like The Take, Hit!, or Number One With A Bullet were available on DVD and I didn’t have to suffer through this mess to get my fix. Not VF.
