“Coffy” Coffin, a badass nurse-turned-vigilante, uses seduction and shotgun justice to take down the pushers who destroyed her sister’s life. The best of a series of exploitation vehicles for leading lady Pam Grier, Coffy’s cup runneth over with sex and violence, but Grier keeps the mayhem under control with a truly commanding, rousing performance. "One of the most entertaining films ever made" (Quentin Tarantino).
