Synopsis: A journalist (Grier) is the involontary witness of the assassination attempt on a billionaire.When she starts digging, she uncovers more and more mystery around a senator and a mysterious Black Widow operation.
Review: The movie contains all the ingredients that can make you like Blackploitation (action movies of the 70's made by Black people for Black people): a sexy heroin, a conspiracy, some action, crimes, gunfights, fistfights... and a groovy soundtrack. Friday Foster is maybe the best I have seen in the genre, and I enjoyed it a lot! It must have been the inspiration for the more recent "hommage" to the genre: Black Dynamite.
Rating: 7 /10
