On the surface, it is a crime suspense film, but it involves racial discrimination at the time. After 40 years, the presidents of the United States are all black. America, is this progress or regression?

Although the rhythm is a bit dull, the suspenseful component is very good. I really like the black actor Sidney Poitier. Adding a little racist thinking to the plot is a characteristic of Hollywood films in this period, and it’s not bad.
