(Flash Review)
Super Fly and partner are New York coke dealers are looking for one last huge coke score in hopes of leaving the business rich. Will they be able to acquire enough weight to distribute to their selling armada? Will Super Fly know how far to press his luck vs getting out while he still can? He may be a pusher but he ain't no fool. Watch him navigate the cop and back stabbing infested waters with a smoothness and style, which is what this movie prioritizes. It hits the bullseye with the period style, slang, music and sass that was a major influence in pop culture. Major is an understatement as I've read it set the 'cool' style for the next decade even from this little low budget production. There is also social commentary on the pusher life being the only way for the African American to make it in 60s America and wouldn't be able to or aren't willing to avoid it as that is the only way of life they know. Technically, some scene pacing and editing could be smoothed out. Check it out to see it's funky aura.
