Foxy Brown (1974)

American International Pictures
Directed by Jack Hill
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Iconic blaxploitation flick with Pam Grier getting revenge on the drug dealers who killed her boyfriend and hooked her brother. Its got style, its got action, its got music by Willie Hutch, but its difficult to overlook the repulsive violence, the stereotypes and the poorly staged fights. The title sequence is one of the best from the 70s, and the trailer is pretty entertaining, but those might be all you need to see.
