Amazon.com: The pinnacle of blaxploitation movies, the 1972 Superfly stars Ron O'Neal as a drug dealer who wants out of the business but decides to take out some enemies in the process. With its criminal hero, one might almost think this could be an existential crime movie, but no...it's really just an effective piece of pulp with a strong performance by O'Neal, grim settings, cool direction by Gordon Parks Jr., and a famous soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield. --Tom Keogh

Ron O'neal gave his best performance as an actor in this 70's classic. It showed the story of a street hustler focused on getting out of the drug game, inspite of his colleagues trying to hold him back. Gordon Parks ... Read More
