An updated remake of John Ford's 1935 film, The Informer. Dublin becomes the Cleveland ghetto and the Irish Republicans are replaced by black revolutionary fighters. Days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Tank Williams is an unemployed and itinerant steelworker who turns over his militant friend Johnny to the police for the $1,000 reward, resulting in an underground all-points bulletin to exact vengeance on the squealer. |
