Review by Wayne Malin

Overly violent but enjoyable trash,

Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) goes after some vicious drug dealers after they kill her boyfriend. Not as good as “Coffy” for one reason–it’s way too violent and Grier’s character is treated horrendously. She’s beaten up repeatedly, raped, shot up with drugs, tied down, whipped in the throat and dragged around and tortured–it just goes too far. However, she gets her revenge very brutally too.

It’s all fairly enjoyable trash. There’s bad dialogue, loads of blood and violence, a lesbian bar fight and some truly terrible acting by Kathryn Loder as the head villain. Also she wears the worst 70s outfits I’ve ever seen!

Still, worth seeing–it moves quickly, Grier is fantastic (as always)…but it’s still trash.
