Career criminal Youngblood Priest wants out of the Atlanta drug scene, but as he ramps up sales, one little slip up threatens to bring the whole operation down before he can make his exit.
“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.”
The clothes are great. The cribs are well-appointed. The fight sequences, although too few, are nicely choreographed. Yet none of it seems to coalesce into a movie.

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.

An unlikable misfire of a film, with only a few decent performances on hand to make it worth your while.

I’ll say this about X’s blaxploitation update-It’s a solid action film with a concise point of view.
