Black Dynamite
2009 · 84 min · R-rated · 7.4/10 on IMDb
action, comedy
When drug dealers take out his kid brother, ex-CIA agent Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) makes like a karate-chopping dynamo to track them down. Armed with a .44 Magnum, a set of nunchucks, and a sexy 'stache, Big D starts out in the City of Angels, where his buddies Cream Corn (Tommy Davidson), a hustler, and Bullhorn (Byron Minns), a club owner, offer to lend a hand. The deeper Dynamite digs, the more endangered his life becomes as he uncovers a conspiracy to keep the black man down by flooding the streets with malt liquor and filling the country's orphanages with smack. Since the smooth operator has a way with the ladies, he also enlists Gloria (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), a socially-conscious soul sister, to aid in his clean-up campaign.
