Title: Disappointing......
Review: Jack Hill's Foxy Brown isn't a sly piece of filmmaking. Hill's cartoonish screenplay gives Pam Grier nothing to work with in this cheesy revenge yarn that's more about skin instead of substance. She wants revenge for the murder of her boyfriend by the syndicate and will do anything to get the satisfaction of retribution. Almost every one of the paper-thin characters is just there for her to kill, maim, or injure. The film goes from campy to downright silly when a henchman gets ground up by an airplane propeller and the absurdity reaches a climax when Foxy pulls a pistol out of her Afro. Ugh! To see Pam do this right, get Coffy or the far superior Jackie Brown. And avoid the Halle Berry remake coming up. That's going to be a funky piece of Gorgonzola too.
