   Cleopatra Jones is a blaxploitation Jane Bond who has to go back home when a drug queenpin, played by Shelley Winters of all people, makes trouble for Cleo's friends (in 'sploitation style, she's a community leader and local star despite being a "secret" agent) to draw her into a trap. The film, and its star Tamara Dobson, provide the right sense of cool and camp, even if they quite manage the action beats on this budget. The hand-to-hand is in necessary close-up or unimpressive, the car chases confusingly edited. Pretty good climax in the junkyard though, and Winters gets to throw down in a leather suit. I do think it's nice that the movie doesn't play into the genre's usual excesses. The violence isn't sadistic and there's no gratuitous nudity. This makes Cleopatra Jones, and her relationship to romantic interest Bernie Casey (and to the other smitten men in her life), actually kind of sweet. 5 years 9 months ago
