7.8 / 10 1h 35min

Drama

The unintentional shooting by police of a star basketball player has profound personal, political and community repercussions in this acclaimed adaptation of the novel Hog Butcher by Ronald Fair. This was one of the more thoughtful urban dramas produced at the height of the "blaxploitation" craze. Also released under the title Hit the Open Man, it features the screen debut of Laurence Fishburne, who was barely a teenager at the time.

Cornbread in 1975 is relevant to the lives of young Black men in 2006

Mislabeled as blaxploitation, this is too filled with heart and universal themes to keep that label.
