Brutally dehumanizing black exploitation film pandering to racial prejudices and sadism.

| Sep 24, 2024

There’s plenty of sex, a catty girl-fight that leaves the losers topless, and car chases and shoot-outs galore and Hill’s gritty low budget action scenes are marked by visceral, wincing violence.

Half-remake, half-victory lap, the film was originally intended as a sequel titled 'Burn, Coffy, Burn!' hastily re-written in ways that don't always entirely make sense, showcasing a more playful side of the star's screen persona.

As ever, Hill's potent direction and Grier's impressive screen presence bring this one home, and it was a hit.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 13, 2015

As handled by Hill, the sensationalistic elements seem both natural and marginal. Grier as Foxy would be fun to watch even if she kept her clothes on and her claws in.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 8, 2015

The unapologetically exploitative proceedings take a turn for the disturbingly nasty, but manage to generate an undeniable adrenaline rush.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 13, 2007

This is fun action sleaze from the classic era of drive-in blaxploitation films, driven by the no-nonsense direction of Jack Hill, and did well enough at the box office to help put the still-gorgeous Pam Grier on the map. Don't miss it.

The film is dated, but its mixed message -- and its potential to offend virtually everyone -- still makes it a powerful discussion starter.

Grier is an actress able to convey an amazing and unflinching strength, and she reveals the film for the dross it is.

Adequate pulp carried by the engaging Pam Grier

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 31, 2005

Miss Grier is obviously durable but, unfortunately, is fast becoming a bore despite all the sex, brawls and gore in Foxy Brown.

A cult classic that's best enjoyed with your tongue firmly in cheek and your political correctness gene locked out in the backyard.
