Black Dynamite

Black Dynamite
4 stars
A brilliant sendup of 1970's blaxploitation films. Michael Jai White is hilarious as "Black Dynamite" - a ripped, kung-fu loving street enforcer who does whatever he pleases. White never once drops character - he plays B.D. as cool and straight as can be. This movie only barely misses "classic" status for me; the supporting cast has several weak players, which is to the detriment of the film. No doubt it is difficult to match the level of quality brought by White.
