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

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This is a typical Pam Grier film. Antonio Fargus plays her hustler brother who gets her boyfriend killed by drug dealers. Pam plays the prostitute to go undercover and get the bad guys.This was the era a whack-a-da music, wide lapels, chrome bumpers, screeching tires, and loud carburetors. Pam gets in some good lines as a prostitute. Very politically incorrect language by today's standards.Guide: F-bomb, sex, implied rape, nudity (Pam Grier, Sharon Kelly, Sally Ann Stroud + others)

I know a lot of 1970's movies were B type and films of anti establishment and against the grain and even exploration like, I've checked many out recently. So I decided to give 1974's black flick "Foxy Brown" a watch since it featured the sexy Pam Grier(and she certainly doesn't let a viewer down with her breast scenes!) and the film though it seems a little quick does entertain with drama, action, and revenge all topped off with plenty of sex! The story is simple set in L.A. in the world of drugs, and scandal involving the mob and Pam Grier is one sexy lady who has a government agent boyfriend murdered and this now causes her to go to any means to find the truth so guess what the Grier character goes undercover as a high class prostitute at a model agency that's a cover for sex and drug trafficking in favor for bribes to bring the killer or killers to justice. Overall this is a fun feel good film that entertains it will seek to any means for justice and Pam Grier's work is memorable as she was too an eye candy treat!

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.

After watching this film, I love it, it is an awesome action, chick-flick with sweet soul/funk music. Now I know what you are thinking: when I said "chick-flick," well I meant that chick-flicks aren't just about romance, comedies or films about girlfriends. They are about women, and the love and tragedies they go through; also about the bad-a** women like our Foxy Brown.Well anyway, this film starts with a street hustler named Link Brown, cringing in a bar full of police officers, he's trying to wait out a bunch of thugs who want to beat him for holding out on a loan from losses incurred from street gambling schemes. In desperation he calls his tough sister Foxy to bail him out yet again. Foxy runs some of the thugs into the river in her car. Afterwards, Link pleads to her that he'll live the straight life if he can hide out at her pad for a while. Foxy reluctantly agrees.Later, Foxy goes to visit her boyfriend in hospital. He name is Dalton Ford, an undercover officer who has been investigating the same crime-ring that Link owed money to. The hoodlums thought they'd killed him, but he really ended up in hospital for plastic surgery to give him a new and safe identity. Emerging as handsome Michael Anderson, he and Foxy hope to start life anew. On the streets, they encounter a black gang who beat and run drug pushers out of town. Foxy introduces Michael to the freeloading Link, and Link acts suspicious. Links leaves Michael and Foxy to themselves, but later looks at some newspaper cuttings and adds two and two together. There is an enormous debt to pay ... and this kind of information could clear that debt. No sooner does Foxy think her life will be smooth, than Michael crashes through her door, breathing his last and shot to death. With some detective work, the grieving and raging Foxy soon tracks Link down at his white girlfriend's, and as they snort coke she storms in on them. Livid with anger, Foxy won't kill her own brother, but she does force the identity of Michael's killers out of him, then force him to leave the city. And so Foxy is out for vengeance.So that is all I am tellin' you folks, you will have to see the film for yourself, and see how it ends. I also recommend it for fans of soul/funk music (the music and songs by Willie Hutch), seventies cinema or blaxploitation cinema. Of course I would say "Soul Cinema" because the term "blaxploitation" sounds kind of offensive to me, I mean come on! Barrack Obama is the new President of the US, and he is a black man...what would he and others like him think?
