Storia
After her younger sister becomes severely injured from using contaminated heroin, nurse 'Coffy' Coffin embarks on a mission of vengeance against the drug dealers and pimps responsible. Operating undercover at night while maintaining her nursing duties during the day, Coffy targets various criminals involved in the city's illegal drug trade, seeking justice for her sister. Along the way, she encounters an honest police detective leading a double life himself.
Riassunto
Directed by Jack Hill in 1973, 'Coffy' is a blaxploitation film that follows the vigilante exploits of its titular character, played by Pam Grier. The movie explores themes of justice and revenge within the context of illegal drug use and its impact on inner-city communities. While details about Coffy's background and motivations are scarce across sources, they agree on her transformation into an avenging angel, seeking retribution against those who have harmed her sister.
