Review of Foxy Brown (1974) by Grant S — 30 Oct 2015
Okay...but Coffy was better.
A woman's boyfriend is murdered by a drug gang. She, Foxy Brown (played by Pam Grier), then sets out to avenge his death.
Interesting and action-packed but, if you've already seen Coffy, the previous Jack Hill-Pam Grier collaboration (Hill being the writer and director), it seems largely second-hand. Very similar main plot to Coffy, with less plausible twists and escapes. Characters are less well developed and there's less engagement.
It all just feels like Coffy Lite.
However, still entertaining and Pam Grier, as before, puts in a great performance in the lead role.
