Review of Foxy Brown (1974) by Rob C — 16 Jul 2011

Sexy Blaxploitation star Pam Grier is on fire once again as Foxy Brown, a woman with a glint of vengeance in her eye for the one's who murdered her boyfriend after a tip-off from her no good drug-dealing brother, Link Brown (Antonio Fargas).

Foxy goes undercover as a prostitute in order to weed out these so-called murderer's and exact extreme justice on them. Back when Pam Grier was undeniabley one of the most beautiful and sexiest women in cinema, Foxy Brown shows her in true form to that statement.

Director Jack Hill knows how to expose Grier in such magnificent fashion, she encompasses everything that is bad-ass in cinema today from a woman. And she can do it without losing that air of sexiness from her persona.

However, one thing I couldn't quite grasp was the main villians of the film, obviously being of white minority, but not having that look of venom to them. They were pretty much unbelievable in their roles and should have been replaced with actors of more vicious attire.

But, Foxy Brown does exact revenge in the most hideous of fashion, that this film get's all it's stars just for her alone.
