Leave your thoughts about Coffy.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIts 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. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThere's no denying the film's savage power |
| The SkinnyScott McKellarEssential viewing for anyone with an interest in the genre, or who wants to see Pam Grier at her very best. |
| StarburstAndrew PollardThrow 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. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestIf only for Grier's performance, Coffy is a must see. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayPeak 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. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film totally revolves around Pam and she carries the film with a lethal and sexy punch. |
| VarietyVariety StaffGrier, 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. |
| CineVueAdam LowesLike many of the films from that era, Coffy hasn’t aged particularly well, but it’s still an entertaining snapshot of the shifting sociological changes of that time wrapped up in crowd- pleasing B-movie. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertCoffy is slightly more serious and a little more inventive than it needs to be. |
