Leave your thoughts about SuperFly.
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsThe upshot: this incarnation of Superfly proves to be a riveting, slick and pulse-pounding reboot that easily blows away the original! |
| NPRChris KlimekA more seasoned director of narrative features might've figured of how to sustain these high points. But Lutz careens among tones like a chromed-out Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado that's had its brake lines cut. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeWhen the new SuperFly does show flashes of street-smart wit...its energy is infectious. Mostly, though, it needs to take its hero’s advice and take things up a notch. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyNeither as satisfying as the remake of "Shaft" nor as objectionable as the remake of "Death Wish," the second coming of Superfly wants to tap into that same ’70s grindhouse allure and put a similarly slick modern gloss on it. The results are pretty mixed. |
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyFor all its pulpy, genre-movie intentions, SuperFly is virtually crippled by its own ludicrousness. It incites more giggles than gasps. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperSuperfly succeeds at it what it wants to be: an action-packed, sexy, violent, 21st century blaxploitation crime thriller with a stylish look, a downloadable soundtrack, a great-looking and talented cast, a few slick twists and even some genuinely funny moments. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA flashy but strangely flaccid remake of a movie that became iconic, despite (or perhaps because of) its grubbiness. |
| Original CinLiam LaceyThough it can’t match the Michael Mann-level menace and poetic rapture it aspires to, the new Atlanta-set Superfly is certainly watchable. Along with its set-piece fantasies of lavishness and violence, it features a flavourful cast of drug dealers, and stars the charismatic baby-faced Trevor Jackson. |
| Brightest Young ThingsRoss BonaimeIt is the rare drug dealer film with brains. It is an astute, sharp modern take on a story that deserved an update. |
| Globe and MailMelissa VincentEmploying the unapologetic pomp of rap videos and enough heart to transition stereotypical characters into complex, dynamic subjects, Superfly is a visual treat that embellishes Director X’s signature kaleidoscopic visuals with an uncanny knack for storytelling. |
