Mystical Grace. Director Sydney Pollack (They Shoot Horses, Don 't They? and The Way We Were) is not a master of the action genre. The Yakuza's scenes of violence lack real force.

Wicker's analysis may be simplistic, but it has merit. For instance, it explains the urban warfare of modern America. Police are not brutal or racist when they shoot to kill, or beat up or harrass "violent subhuman beats." They are protecting normal society. They had to get Fred Hampton before he got us. It is not surprising, then, that "they" populate the Atticas of America...
