Amazing Grace (1974)
“Despite the fact that she hasn't made a film since 1933 (the classic The Emperor Jones) Jackie "Moms" Mabley has lost none of her natural timing and performing ability.” –

Serpico (1973)

“It's Pacino's show anyway. His performance alone makes this film worth seeing. Pacino is Serpico. Pacino is "Serpico."” –

Death Wish (1974)
66%
“Although we may find the views expressed in Death Wish unacceptable on any level, still, the basic story line, despite its idiotic perspective, might have made an interesting film, had it been handled properly.” –

Busting (1974)
17%
“By itself, Busting exists as a tough little urban police drama with moralistic pretensions. However, in a longer view, from the field, the film is merely a combination of every city cop movie you've ever seen.” –
