Synopsis/Review: A nurse seeks revenge on those she hold responsible for her 11-year old sister’s drug addiction.
I enjoyed this film! I laughed in places I wondered if I was suppose too. I was curious as to how accurate the movie was to the times and places. It was a little bit of a stretch in acting abilities but thats probably the point. I think if you want to follow the acting career of Pam Grier then this movie is a must. If you’re in to this genre of film I’m sure you have already seen Coffy, but if your just starting don’t pass this one up.

Special Qualities: Action, Guns, & Boobs!  Good look into what future films would be influenced by. Not many moving shots, (typical of the time?)
