A Rage in Harlem
1991, English. Directed by Bill Duke.
In the next 24 hours they'll have to outrun the law, outsmart the mob and outshoot the competition.
A beautiful black gangster's moll flees to Harlem with a trunkload of gold after a shootout, unaware that the rest of the gang, and a few other unsavoury characters, are on her trail. A pudgy momma's boy becomes the object of her affections and the unlikely hero of the tale.
