Like a bonkers mashup of THE LAST DRAGON, SCARFACE, and a particularly gonzo episode of 'Empire,' SUPERFLY is chock-full of all the sex and ultraviolence you’d imagine finding on the streets of Atlanta with a bunch of cocaine dealers, exotic dancers and dirty cops living their most dangerous, action-packed lives.
USA Today
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.

The new Superfly seems...like an embarrassing throwback.

Rating: 2/5 --
The early scenes are so full of bling and macho posturing that you half suspect the film must be intended as a spoof.

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.

The entire denouement has a nice satirical sting, pushed along by the rapper and songwriter Big Boi’s droll turn as an incumbent mayor hungry for re-election. He becomes a potent weapon in Priest’s score settling.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
The whole thing plays like a fancy dress parody of a crime movie, except nobody seems to be having much fun.
