A Rage in Harlem
ComedyCrime115 min
After a shootout, a gangster’s moll escapes to Harlem with a trunk full of gold, drawing a long line of gangsters and assorted chancers behind her. Forest Whitaker is Jackson, a quiet, sheltered mama’s boy who catches Robin Givens’s eye and ends up pulled into the chase. What follows is a tangle of hidden money, con games, and armed men moving through Harlem, with Jackson stuck between the woman who chose him and the criminals trying to catch her.
