Superfly updates the blaxploitation original with a stylish remake that's exciting and visually arresting enough to offer its own slickly staged action rewards, but disappointingly short on social subtext.

Director X...can't seem to differentiate between the strip-club aesthetics of a rap video and the demands of a full-length feature film. Sep 14, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The early scenes are so full of bling and macho posturing that you half suspect the film must be intended as a spoof. Sep 12, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The whole thing plays like a fancy dress parody of a crime movie, except nobody seems to be having much fun. Aug 9, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

For all its tossed-off flash, "Superfly" goes beyond the mere intricacy of its audacious plotting to suggest the cruelty, the horror, and the deceit at the heart of the American body politic. Jun 21, 2018 | Full Review…

For all its pulpy, genre-movie intentions, SuperFly is virtually crippled by its own ludicrousness. Jun 15, 2018 | Full Review…

It just goes to show if you're going to remake a blaxploitation movie, it's best to temper that revolutionary edge with the right amount of pulp. SuperFly doesn't get that balance quite right, but it comes a lot closer than one would expect. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.75/5 | Full Review…

It's definitely slick and stylish, directed by noted music video auteur Director X from a script by Alex Tse, but it lacks some of the soul that made the original film so engaging and fun. Feb 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

SUPERFLY turns out to not be very good. Despite boasting a director whose name screams, "TOO MUCH STYLE," the film looks generic as can be. Nov 27, 2018 | Full Review…

Profoundly sketchy, scattershot and overall unappealing in its uneven boisterous presentation, Superfly aimlessly pounds its congested chest without offering any grounded payoff in redemption or retaliation. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review…

The super heroic version of this tale mythologizes Youngblood Priest in a new era of chaos in which threats to the black community are more amorphous and multi-faceted than they used to be. Oct 30, 2018 | Full Review…

Like watching a two-hour trap video, this Superfly is all foreplay and zero climax. [Full Review in Spanish] Oct 24, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
