Coffy is somewhat lighter, owing to Pam Grier’s “kick ass, take names, and look amazing while doing so” character. Thus, the Coffy chaser was much needed after the particular brutality...

Peak Grier, Coffy is a sobering story kept at street level, and while Hill keeps the film in the realm of pulp fantasy, the stakes are high.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 8, 2015

Jack Hill directs for maximal suspense, violence, and voyeuristic appeal (which Grier certainly embodies).

| Mar 28, 2007

Grier, a statuesque actress with a body she doesn't hesitate to show, is strongly cast. Booker Bradshaw as a city politician and William Elliott as an honest cop score well.

The world Coffy inhabits is revealed as one where social, sexual and political exploitation are simply the norms.

Leaves a viewer with the happy thought that she now can get back to nursing and away from films like Coffy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2005

Coffy is slightly more serious and a little more inventive than it needs to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2004
