The film totally revolves around Pam and she carries the film with a lethal and sexy punch.June 13, 2015
Its real power comes from Hill's potent pulp storytelling and up-front style as well as the novelty of a female hero who takes charge and controls her own destiny.May 09, 2005
Leaves a viewer with the happy thought that she now can get back to nursing and away from films like Coffy.March 28, 2007
If you're looking for nonstop, no-holds-barred exploitation, look no further. Pam Grier's first solo starring role is an enormously entertaining black action classic.November 05, 2012
Are these righteous breasts, or breasts of righteousness? Can they really be both at once?April 06, 2015
Essential viewing for anyone with an interest in the genre, or who wants to see Pam Grier at her very best.March 28, 2007
Grier, a statuesque actress with a body she doesn't hesitate to show, is strongly cast. Booker Bradshaw as a city politician and William Elliott as an honest cop score well.November 16, 2009
Grier is the movie's bristling forceFebruary 09, 2006
The world Coffy inhabits is revealed as one where social, sexual and political exploitation are simply the norms.October 23, 2004
Coffy is slightly more serious and a little more inventive than it needs to be.March 28, 2007
Jack Hill directs for maximal suspense, violence, and voyeuristic appeal (which Grier certainly embodies).June 08, 2015
Peak Grier, Coffy is a sobering story kept at street level, and while Hill keeps the film in the realm of pulp fantasy, the stakes are high.
