Foxy Brown dubiously embraces its inner minstrel show
November 07, 2002
Vigilante-justice film flickers between camp and chauvinism, slam-bang action and sexist idiocy.
May 31, 2005
Adequate pulp carried by the engaging Pam Grier
June 13, 2015
As ever, Hill's potent direction and Grier's impressive screen presence bring this one home, and it was a hit.
September 17, 2005
Sleazy blaxploitation film from the 70s.
March 13, 2007
The unapologetically exploitative proceedings take a turn for the disturbingly nasty, but manage to generate an undeniable adrenaline rush.

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

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

March 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.
