Based on the novel by real life pimp and con Iceberg Slim, TRICK BABY tells the story of a fair-skinned black con nicknamed "White Folks," and his buddy Blue. These two use their scam to trick the straights and make a bit of scratch, all the while avoiding Philadelphia's notoriously corrupt cops and gangsters.
"[A] cautionary tale, yet with a plotline as entertaining as eye candy."
-- Dalton Ross
, (Entertainment Weekly)
"Purely as thriller, Yust's movie holds up better than many more familiar titles from the era: it's cleverly plotted, makes good use of the Philadelphia locations, and the leads are surprisingly strong." -- Tom Charity , (Sight and Sound) |
