Review of Lady Cocoa

Lady Cocoa (1975)
10/10
Lola Falana Steps Out!
14 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is the kind of film you take lightly; and a good example of the genre (Blaxploitation). Lots of action and attractive stars (Lady Lola and Gene Washington. The color and sound are bad on the DVD due to a bad transfer process.

Lola Falana really steps out of her Las Vegas entertainer role to play a gritty foul mouthed gangster's moll; and she does it to the max; especially the exchange between her and Washington in the hotel room -where she goes into a tirade about the police and poor people.

I actually picked this DVD in a bargain bin at 99 cent store in the mall and I was really surprised. If you're a fan of the Genre, you will like this. And all you "serious" critics, if you want an art house therapy session, watch something else. This is just turn your mind off and enjoy. I loved it.
