After a series of violent, sexy blaxploitation films like Coffy and Foxy Brown, Pam Grier returned in this more sedate PG-rated actioner. Grier plays Chicago P.I. Sheba Shayne, who returns to her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky to save her fathers loan business from vicious gangsters. Austin Stoker co-stars with DUrville Martin (Dolemite) and Charles Kissinger, who appeared in all of director William Girdlers films. Highlights include a chase through a carnival funhouse, but without the usual exploitation elements, theres little to recommend this film except for Grier completists. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
