Foxy Brown New 35mm Print!
Neither the mediocre script and uneven direction, nor a very, very low budget, could overshadow Pam Grier's spirited portrayal of a woman out to avenge the murder of her federal-agent lover (Terry Carter), who is fingered for murder by her drug-addicted brother (Antonio Fargas). Reminiscent of her 1973 feature Coffy, the film's ensuing action involves Foxy in a dual crusade: to stop a major heroin shipment from reaching her neighborhood and to avenge her boyfriend's murder. The scenes that follow involve death by fire, knives, and castration. Strictly a film for Grier devotees, in which she is required to symbolize an action heroine with a social conscience. Very violent, very bloody, and very much the kind of film that earned Pam Grier the title, "Queen of the B's."-Doris Worsham
