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.

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...

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.

Jack Hill directs for maximal suspense, violence, and voyeuristic appeal (which Grier certainly embodies).

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.

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.

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.

First blaxploitation movie I´ve watched...It was more of a interesting foray into a genre than having real entertainment value...Cheesy dialogue, predictable plot points, nice "action" tho.

Trashy, exciting 1970's style grindhouse fun, as Pam Grier exerts her ultra violent revenge on the pushers, pimps, mobsters, corrupt cops, and politicians, who she blames for her sister's drug addiction. One of Pam's best roles - she's tough, street wise, charming, and sexy.

60% rating ... Pam Grier stars in this solid film. Anything I rate 60% or higher is something I'd recommend seeing at least once.
