   Foxy Brown and Pam Grier are both a whole lot of woman, and though this sex'n'violence exploitation movie can get very nasty - we don't need our heroine force-addicted to smack and raped to justify her revenge, yo - its parts are better than the whole, and I came off enjoying it a lot. This thing's got Foxy throwing furniture at black belt lesbians, killing fools with coat hangers, torturing corrupt judges, and running gangsters over with a plane. I find Kathryn Loder's creepy bordello Madam interesting, and what Foxy does to revenge herself on her is too delicious to spoil. Now sure, Grier isn't always up to the task of delivering her speeches in the number of takes allowed, but she's always affecting anyway, and she sports a lot of great looks and is better supporting than usual. Antonio Fargas (playing her brother) has a speech early on that sums up why the focus of these things is always on crime, and I'm always happy to see Battlestar Galactica's Terry Carter in anything. Funky beats, pretty people in various states of undress, and whack violence - the exploitation genre at its best. 3 years 8 months ago

   A little sillier than Coffy, there's more comedic dialogue and it's not quite as emotionally charged, but I still have to give it the same rating. Just an absolute classic. 6 years 1 month ago
