The film is dated, but its mixed message -- and its potential to offend virtually everyone -- still makes it a powerful discussion starter.

Grier is an actress able to convey an amazing and unflinching strength, and she reveals the film for the dross it is.
Time Out
Rotten
Miss Grier is obviously durable but, unfortunately, is fast becoming a bore despite all the sex, brawls and gore in Foxy Brown.
