Foxy Brown review

The meanest chick in town has come to clean up your Blu-ray collection

From its 007-inspired opening credits to Foxy's final squirm-inducing revenge, Jack Hill's 1974 blaxploitation hit remains an absolute blast. Key to this is Pam Grier's electrifying performance as Foxy Brown, which helps paper over the myriad plot deficiencies and cements the film's place as a bona fide genre classic. Arrow Video's BD boasts an authentically grainy and colourful AVC 1.85:1 1080p encode and a pleasingly clear LPCM 2.0 soundtrack. And while the lack of input from Grier in the disc-based extras is a real shame, the commentary and interviews included on the disc are still well worth checking out.

Foxy Brown, Arrow Video, Region B BD, £20 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 4/5
