Wikipedia
Critic Francesca T. Royster states, “ Tamara Dobson is a lost African queen, dripping in furs and silk robes.
She is a hybrid of an exotic queen from the past, a homegirl who knows her way around her old neighborhood of Watts and a special agent for the CIA.
In the film, we see a double act of appropriation made possible by the ambiguity of the Cleopatra icon .” Shots of Dobson emphasize her exotic beauty especially when imaged through the male gaze.
