Manthast Absolutely amazing

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Mr-Fusion "Foxy Brown" is probably as trashy and entertaining as they get, and the best thing about this movie, hands down, is the pitch-perfect casting of Pam Grier in the title role. She's tough, vulnerable, unbelievably superfine and able to kick some serious ass. This woman is a force, and the movie is a surprisingly harsh revenge flick. Sure, she goes under as a prostitute to get the mobsters who killer her boyfriend, but it was her brother that ratted the guy out in the first place. Damn. And the people she squares off against are are some supreme scumbags. It gets kinda dark there for a while. But it pays off, and there's some fun to be had with weaponized coat hangers, not to mention some uncomfortable dis"member"meant. Also, boobs. That's what kind of movie this is, and we can all be thankful for it.7/10

gavin6942 A voluptuous black woman (Pam Grier) takes a job as a high-class prostitute in order to get revenge on the mobsters who murdered her boyfriend.I love Jack Hill. I love his work with "Spider Baby" and "Blood Bath", and I love his attempts at making Sid Haig and Pam Grier stars. He may have succeeded more on Grier than Haig, but they have both done very well for themselves.This film tends to fall under the title of blaxploitation, which may be strange coming from a white director. Personally, while I do not see a problem with a white man directing a "black" film, I do see a problem with this movie being called a black film. It is neither black nor white (or any other color). It is a story of corruption and revenge and has actors of different colors telling a very universal crime story.

Poseidon-3 Originally intended as a sequel to the Blaxploitation hit "Coffy," it was re-tooled at AIP Studios insistence into a separate entity while retaining many aspects of the prior film. Grier plays a sassy, sexy woman (of fuzzy occupation) who is eagerly awaiting the return to society of her intelligence agent boyfriend Carter, whose face has been redesigned following his turning over of information regarding a major crime ring. Before they can bask in their reunion for very long, however, her brother Fargas, who deals in drugs and is in debt to a drug czar, messes things up for them in a major way. From then on, it is Grier against darn near everyone as she struggles to bring down the operation, led by the intense Loder and her shifty lover Brown. Grier is memorable in this fairly highly regarded entry in the genre. She shows off a lot of funkalicious 70's clothing and kicks butt in the many action sequences (one notable, and hilarious, one taking place in a lesbian bar!) Her take-no-prisoners attitude is fun to behold, yet she retains her femininity. Fargas delivers an interesting performance, as well, though his character is lacking in appealing characteristics. Brown isn't given a great deal to do, but is fine and has a memorable comeuppance. He doesn't show any skin here, though he would pose semi-nude for Oui magazine shortly after filming this. Carter is attractive and likable in his brief role. As the queen bee of the crime syndicate, Loder gives an entertainingly demented performance. The writer-director Hill wrote the role for her and then had trouble convincing the head honchos to let her play it. Looking sort of like a fleshier Carolyn Jones, she brings a hysterical nervous neuroses and overemphasis to her scenes. Other cast include Holcombe, the Country Time lemonade guy, in a big departure as an unethical judge caught with his pants down (!), Brown as a practically captive call girl, Stroud (Don's wife) as Fargas' drug-addled girlfriend and cult-favorite Haig (who pops up only for the final 15 minutes of the film) as a helicopter pilot. Among the memorable vignettes are Grier's confrontation with her brother when she finds out he fingered Carter, the sequence with Holcombe in which he's humiliated publicly, the aforementioned bar fight scene (with the lesbians being enacted by real life stuntwomen), Grier's horrifying captivity by two skeevy men in a desolate cabin and Grier's final confrontation with Loder. Like so many of the other films in this genre, it's breathtakingly incorrect and at times guerrilla-like. It's one of those things a person either likes or doesn't. Sadly, Loder would be dead within a few years of this film from diabetes complications. Grier would later be given a magnificent comeback in "Jackie Brown," whose title was partially inspired by this film's through director Quentin Tarantino.

MartinHafer My score of 5 is indicative of the quality of the production--not the entertainment value. Sure, the film is silly, occasionally poorly directed and produced and it sure would never win any accolades for its artistic merits. But on the other hand, it is very entertaining and is a definite "guilty pleasure"--you know, a film that you love but isn't a particularly good film. While it was not as exciting as Pam Grier's prior film, COFFY, it was a little better aesthetically--with less of the cheesy violence (no exploding heads in this one) , but it still packs a mean punch and it's nice to see Grier's acting has improved.Like COFFY, FOXY BROWN is about a one-woman demolition team out to destroy a drug syndicate. In this sense, the film isn't so original and at times it's more like a sequel than a stand-alone film. This isn't all bad, as the action is still there as well as all the excitement. But this time it's all a bit more tame and not quite as shocking. Also, sadly, FOXY BROWN ended rather poorly in my opinion. By the end of COFFY, every drug dealer was stone cold dead--but in FOXY BROWN, she oddly left a couple of them beaten (and in one case BADLY damaged) but alive. To me, this just wasn't as satisfying--I wanted to see them all bite the dust! Like most so-called "Blaxploitation" films, this one is super-violent and full of nudity. It's a film you best not show your kids or to a nun!
