The last, and least, film in the so-called Uptown trilogy, this 1977 buddy comedy is preachier than its more rollicking predecessors, Uptown Saturday Night and Let's Do It Again. It begins like The Sting, but then veers into To Sir, with Love territory, as Dave (Bill Cosby), a safecracker, and Manny (Sidney Poitier), a con man, are blackmailed by a retired detective (James Earl Jones, who would achieve pop-culture immortality that year as the voice of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars) to work at a community-improvement center and inspire the delinquent youth to respect themselves and find jobs. An answer to the violent and militant blaxploitation films of the period, these films, each directed by Poitier, were the Barbershop of their day. Poitier and Cosby are a seamless team; their ease, charm, and integrity carry the film's more plodding patches, as does Curtis Mayfield's authentic score. Fans of these icons will want to get a piece of this action. --Donald Liebenson

"Gentlemen, I want to be fair and relieve your minds. Neither of you knows what my business with the other one is. Therefore you are safe from each other. This is confidential. Trust me."
- Joshua Burke (James Earl Jones)
Well, this movie is more mainstream than the typical blaxploitation due to the stardom of Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier, "A Piece of the Action" was the third and last pairing of this sequel. The film's plot is quite weak but the charm is still there. Charming ... Read More

I dig the whole 70s genre thing man; but the ongoing mob-money, flip the script thing is redundant in light of the same spin from the previous "uPTOWN sATURDAY nIGHT", and "Let's Do It Again".
The cast is fantastic and the sound track is outstanding. I feel the script didn't do the cast justice. I guess it was just a product of the short-comings of the stereo-typical roles for that era. Hey, I thought Martin Lawrence and Will Smith were going to remake one of these films..holla ... Read More

Once again, Sidney Potier and Bill Cosby come together but this time with more of a serious tone (as much as can be achieved with Cosby and Potier onscreen together.) James Earl Jones, awesome as usual, and an extraordinary supporting cast make the movie a piece you should not miss.

For me this is the best movie both Sid & Bill have done. A very good storyline (especially for those days) complete with an exellent brand of comedy & marvelous soundtrack to add that cherry on top.....
This gets a 5*
And Tracey Reed (sidney's woman) gets a 50,000000*
If I ever saw her Id have to put my Mack game on her - Im only 25 but hey 'I Aint Never Scared'
