“Superfly” (2018) is a remake of the classic film “Super Fly” (1972) from the blaxploitation era of Hollywood. The story is about Youngblood Priest, the leader of a major narcotics organization. He has superb skills with firearms and hand-to-hand combat, but he prefers to handle situations with wisdom and words instead of death and destruction. After an altercation with a rival gang member, Priest forms a scheme that will allow him to gain a fortune, escape the criminal underworld, and live in peaceful luxury. No, I don’t know why the original film was two words and the remake is a compound word. 

The movie stars Trevor Jackson, Jason Mitchell, Lex Scott Davis, Michael Kenneth Williams, Kaalan Walker, Jacob Ming-Trent, Andrea Londo, Esai Morales, Jennifer Morrison, Angel Love, Terayle Hill, Big Boi, Allen Maldonado, Al-Jaleel Knox, Rick Ross, Lecrae, Big Bank Black, Dawntavia Bullard, and Zaytoven. The film is helmed by Director X, who is best known for directing music videos. 

Unlike most of my reviews for theatrically released films, there are no spoilers within this video. I gave the movie a sold B grade.
