As a nurse, Coffy (Pam Grier) has seen the ill effects of drugs up close, but it isn't until her little sister becomes addicted to heroin that she finally decides to wage a one-woman battle. Disguised as a prostitute, Coffy goes on a killing rampage, at first going after street dealers and pimps such as sleazy King George (Robert DoQui), then gradually working her way up to bigger honchos. She's shocked, however, when she discovers that her politician boyfriend (Booker Bradshaw) is involved.

Critics Consensus

Pam Grier brings spunk and vinegar to Coffy, supported by director Jack Hill's combustible mixture of authentic grit and salacious thrills.

Kat Sachs Chicago Reader 08/07/2024
Coffy is somewhat lighter, owing to Pam Grier’s “kick ass, take names, and look amazing while doing so” character. Thus, the Coffy chaser was much needed after the particular brutality... Go to Full Review

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Don Druker Chicago Reader 03/28/2007
Jack Hill directs for maximal suspense, violence, and voyeuristic appeal (which Grier certainly embodies). Go to Full Review

8/10
The tone is serious, the harshness entertaining, the deserts grandly just (the finale is surprisingly well-written and supremely satisfying), and the star perfectly cast. Go to Full Review

Jack Hill... elevates Grier to leading lady status in these down and dirty urban action pictures. They are at times slapdash and sloppy but carry a visceral punch at their best. Go to Full Review
Andrew Pollard Starburst 04/11/2018
8/10
Throw in a frenetic soundtrack, wonderful fashions, ample servings of sex, Sid Haig as a snarling henchman, and a fistful of moustaches and afros, then you have a classic of its time. Go to Full Review

Robson C Nov 24 Coffy é uma enfermeira que inicia uma vingança contra uma quadrilha de traficantes, após sua irmã ter ficado viciada e internada após o uso de drogas batizadas e de um amigo policial ter ficado entre a vida e a morte após ser espancado. Apesar de repetir o roteiro de outros filmes da blaxploitation de busca pela vingança, aqui a personagem de Pam Grier até apresenta outras camadas e dúvidas sobre os seus atos. Como o próprio filme até dedica a uma crítica ao combate às drogas em uma conversa entre Coffy e Carter. Falta ritmo ao filme, além de explorar a nudez tanto feminina quanto masculina. Acaba valendo pela Pam Grier e dos vilões realmente malvados, como Sid Haig e Allan Arbus. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 16 Success in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of Pam's best roles - she's tough, street wise, charming, and sexy. See more Brent A 08/06/2023 60% rating ... Pam Grier stars in this solid film.
