Coffy (1973)
Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Jack Hill
Cast: Pam Grier, Booker Bradshaw, Robert DoQui
Synopsis:
A black nurse avenges her junky sister by wasting assorted pimps and pushers until the trail leads to her politician boyfriend.
Review:
Overtly sexy and viciously violent blaxploitation vehicle for the curvaceous Miss Grier who, as the decidedly spunky agent provocatrice, treads a fine line between luring her male victims and upholding her civic rights. The same could be said for the film, which scores some commonplace points against political corruption but at least is honest enough to have its villain a negro too and only briefly pauses for sanctimony in its relentless drive to please the punters.
