Coffy - 1973 - 7/10
Not necessarily Oscar quality film, but a highly enjoyable one.
Coffy cemented Pam Grier’s rep as one badass broad.
This is a full bore, revenge ride, as nurse by day (vigilante by night) takes on drug pushers and the mob.
Funky soundtrack - not great, not bad.
Most of the story is set in the milieu of pimps and whores.
The king pimps flash exuberant 70’s over the top style, the hookers flash breasts. Lots of them.
Overdoses, beatings, stabbings, shootings, car chases.
All the while, Nurse Coffin kills and kills.
This put Pam Grier on the map and remains hugely entertaining.
Kick-ass introduction to Blaxploitation.
