Coffy (3 Stars)

1973. Rated R.

Pam Grier is most excellent as a vigilante nurse who goes after the drug pushers that gave her sister laced drugs. Filled with head explosions, women catfights with salad and razorblades and most notably a young Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses and Devil’s Rejects), this blaxploitation, drive-in fair is a must see for those who like their action gritty and raw. The movie is dated and the dialogue can be corny at times – but this is pure 1970s nostalgia with Tarantino-esque style.
