Up Tight! (1968)

IMDb plot summary: Black revolutionaries are betrayed by one of their own. Based on the 1935 classic, "The Informer."
Directed by Jules Dassin. Starring Raymond St. Jacques, Ruby Dee, Frank Silvera, and Roscoe Lee Browne.

I'm intrigued by this as a retelling of an older book/movie but putting it in a more contemporary setting at the time, in the aftermath of MLK's assassination. Other than that, though, from moment to moment it feels like a pretty straightforward noir, which means I found much of it bland and predictable, with the unique setting occasionally adding an extra layer of depth to it. I want to like it more than I do.
