The film falls in the blaxploitation subgenre of "vigilante group cleans up ghetto streets".[4] The film follows a black policeman seeking revenge on the man who got his girlfriend addicted to heroin.[5] The film was distributed by American International Pictures, one of the many films it targeted to the new youth market.[6] Josiah Howard states that the marketing "almost makes it look like a spoof of the genre."[3] Howard described the film as "low budget and flashy, but fast-moving and consistently entertaining."[3] Leonard Maltin wrote "Hathaway has done many fine films, but this, his last, isn't one."[7]
