ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Robert Joyner 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
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Mr-Fusion "Foxy Brown" is probably as trashy and entertaining as they get, and the best thing about this movie, hands down, is the pitch-perfect casting of Pam Grier in the title role. She's tough, vulnerable, unbelievably superfine and able to kick some serious ass. This woman is a force, and the movie is a surprisingly harsh revenge flick. Sure, she goes under as a prostitute to get the mobsters who killer her boyfriend, but it was her brother that ratted the guy out in the first place. Damn. And the people she squares off against are are some supreme scumbags. It gets kinda dark there for a while. But it pays off, and there's some fun to be had with weaponized coat hangers, not to mention some uncomfortable dis"member"meant. Also, boobs. That's what kind of movie this is, and we can all be thankful for it.7/10
utgard14 When her undercover cop boyfriend is murdered, bombshell Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) is out for revenge. She goes undercover as a call girl for a sleazy couple (Peter Brown, Kathryn Loder) that runs a prostitution and drug syndicate. Voluptuous and tough Pam Grier is the whole show, kicking ass and looking good doing it. Antonio Fargas plays her weaselly brother. Sid Haig has a small part as a horny pilot. The fight in the lesbian bar and the airplane murder are highlights. Foxy's final moment of revenge left me speechless. Cool theme song, nice nudity, and lots of violence like most of the great blaxploitation movies. Contains some pretty rough scenes and racist language so be prepared for that if you're squeamish. Not quite as good as Coffy but still entertaining.
sonya90028 Foxy Brown, was one of the gems of the Blaxploitation era. It's positively campy, gritty, and exciting. The fabulous, drop-dead gorgeous Pam Grier, played Foxy Brown with a seething conviction. After her man was gunned-down by drug-dealers, Foxy is out for blood. And she makes sure that the bad-guys shed their share, while she goes about the task of settling the score.Pam Grier made Foxy's rage and obsession with revenge, seem palpable. Foxy did whatever she had to do, to make the villains pay. The viewer really gets caught-up in Foxy's quest for justice. You want to cheer, when Foxy gets even with those who did her wrong. Pam Grier's stunning good looks, and her athletic grace, made her a perfect choice to play Foxy Brown. I can't imagine any other woman starring in this role. No other black female actress, was as compelling on-screen as Pam Grier was in the 70s.The cool funkiness of 70s Blaxploitation cinema, is certainly in evidence in Foxy Brown. The outrageously tacky clothes, giant 'fros, jive-talking' characters, slick cars, sexy mamas, gun-totin' urban thugs-it's all here in this film. If you're looking for a fat, juicy slice of 70s Blaxploitation, then Foxy Brown is just the movie for you.
Michael_Elliott Foxy Brown (1974) *** (out of 4) Enjoyable, over the top blaxploitation classic about Foxy Brown (Pam Grier), a woman who seeks revenge on the evil white people who killed her fiancé. This is an incredibly silly, racist and over the top film but I really enjoyed it. The performances are beyond bad but Grier still has a style that's able to carry the film and her nude scenes aren't too bad. The violence is so crazy that you can't help but laugh. The stereotypes also get major laughs especially one politically incorrect scene where Foxy enters a lesbian bar and fights some "manly" women.
