Super Fly (1972)
7/10
This is an entertaining movie, worth having in your collection since the main character is so great, but far from top 5 from this genre.

Super Fly (1972) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline for this picture is about a cocaine drug dealer who has ambitions to score one last deal that will allow him to retire and start a new life. His supplier may have alternate ideas about his future. This movie is directed by Gordon Parks Jr. (Three the Hard Way) and stars Ron O'Neal (Red Dawn), Sheila Frazier (Two of a Kind), Floyd Levine (Death Wish) and Julius Harris (Darkman). The storyline for this is very straightforward and as you'd expect from this genre and era. The character interactions were very well written, natural and well executed by the cast. O'Neil was a fantastic lead character and the outfits were outstanding. He was depicted very well. The sex scenes weren't as good as some films from this era. The ending was good but the fight was funny and dated. Overall this is an entertaining movie, worth having in your collection since the main character is so great, but far from top 5 from this genre. I'd score this a 7/10.
