Customer Reviews of Gordon's War
A great movie that reflected the time it was made Paul Winfield through this movie reflected the Black Consciousness Movement in America in the early 1970's. A clip of a wall sprayed with "Free Huey: Power to the people" is just a taste of it. Gordon's war against the pushers reflected the Black Panthers and other groups crusade against the Heroin epidemic that was raging in Harlem and other poor Black neighborhoods at the time.
A GREAT MOVIE!
This is one the best movies of the blaxploitation era, which strangely, didn't acquired the cult status that SUPERFLY, SHAFT & COFFY enjoy today. This movie has a great cast: a very young Paul Winfield(Gordon), Carl Lee ( Bee; who also played "Eddie" in SUPERFLY ), Gilbert Lewis ( Spanish Harry ) and a cameo role by a then very young unknown Grace Jones ( Mary ). The plot is catching: Gordon, a green beret vet from the Vietnam war returns home to find that out that his wife died victim of drugs. From that moment on, Gordon starts a war against all the pushers & drug dealers to get the dope out of Harlem. He recruits a few friends to help him stage this bloody battle against, mainly, Spanish Harry, the Big Shot of Harlem! The movie is fast paced with plenty of action and clever(70s) dialogue. Also the soundtrack is wonderful too. Songs like "Child Of Tomorrow", a beautiful sad ballad sung with deep soulness by Barbara Mason & "Come On And Dream Some Paradise",great funky music by New Birth, contributes as much to the plot as the visuals of the movie. This is an action movie with a message and a heart! I almost cried the first time I saw the ending of this movie back in 1973. I wish someone can make the soundtrack of this movie available again! Trust me on this one: GET THIS MOVIE!
