...plot would be entirely diverting if it were not mercilessly weighted down with Ideas. Sanders, alas, has clearly read his Sartre. His hoods are given to observations like "Crime is the truth. Law is the hypocrisy." There is no sex in the usual sense, because the characters prefer to engage in whippings. It turns out that tape is not the ideal medium for dramatizing this kind of eroticism, but there is enough twaddle about the relationship between violent crime and perverted sex to make St. Genet set fire to his halo...

Though Willis and Dural offer brand-name clothes at reasonable prices, middle-class blacks prefer to shop at more prestigious downtown stores-a habit that in other cities is yielding to a "buy black" movement. Willis and Dural do not have the resources to provide credit, and they have refused to send customers to white loan sharks who volunteered their services. The store owners have...
