Across 110th Street (1972)

Three desperate men steal $300,000 dollars from a mob money drop, killing seven people in the process, and thus sending both the police and the mob down after them. Anthony Quinn is the grizzled old Italian police Captain, and Yaphet Kotto the fast rising young black Lieutenant, of course at first they butt heads, but in time comes a grudging respect/possible admiration. I like that the three culprits are not all together unsympathetic, but in general this film felt pretty standard and uninspired, though there is an unexpected little surprise in its last thirty seconds. This is the movie from which we get that cool song that plays over the credits of Jackie Brown. Grade: C
