I love blaxpoitation. Why? Because it's honest. It doesn't claim it's going to be action and then show only PG-13 material. If you see a Blaxpoitaton movie you know it's going to be all out. Cursing, nudity, sex, and violence. But all that doesn't make a movie, it just helps. It's details. The plot is what counts and most (not all: Dolemite) of these films know that. That's why they construct an interesting plot that surrounds crime and allows for these details to fit the story. Shaft was a great action movie, but they got better from there. Coffy, Superfly, and now Foxy Brown, all great movies in a similar way. They are fun. Foxy Brown is possibly the best of all of them because it has the best plot. It's similar to Coffy but not so similar that you only have to see one. Foxy Brown takes Coffy and goes even further. It has a nice, complex story involving gangs, ranches, murders, and betrayal. All the good things that contemporary action movies leave out. Sometimes you have to go back to the classics to get a rush. This movie is one of those classics.
