Sweet young songtress Aggie (an appealing portrayal by the adorable Missy Crider) gets sent to a harsh women's prison after being found guilty of a murder she didn't commit. Will Aggie be able to prove her innocence and avoid being killed by a hit girl while serving time in the joint? Director John McNaughton, working from a blithely silly script by Samuel Fuller and Christa Long, relates the entertainingly ridiculous story at a zippy pace, maintains an engaging tongue-in-cheek campy tone throughout, and offers an affectionately broad evocation of the 50's Red Scare era. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Bahni Turpin as the friendly Melba, Ione Skye as sensitive writer Carol, Miguel Sandoval as shrewd tough cop Lucky, Tom Towles as slimy corrupt guard Norman Stoneface, Jon Polito as irascible music executive Boss Johnson, and Raymond O'Connor as smarmy disc jockey Mickey Maven. However, it's Anne Heche who easily steals the whole show with her deliciously wicked portrayal of ruthless bitch Jennifer (and, yes, Anne does indeed bare her nice breasts in a shower scene). Jean de Segonzac's snazzy cinematography gives the picture a cool stylized look. Hummie Mann's robust score hits the stirring melodramatic spot. A kitschy blast.

Don't let the appellation MADE FOR TV throw you off the scent. This movie was made for cable TV, and like any good 'girls in prison' movie, it has 2 really good shower scenes!Also, as it is set in the 1950's, Anne Heche gets to wear some clothes that would look right at home on Grace Kelly.

This should be a campy, cheesy riot, an homage to exploitation films. Instead, it just is one. It seems they didn't feel like trying hard enough to make good schlock, and counted on the camp element to excuse the lack of quality on the serious level.I thought that this would be like 'Mars Attacks' with shower scenes. There were two of those, and I have to say I enjoyed them. But as Joe Bob Briggs says, the plot gets in the way of the story.

Funny how people see the same things in such different ways. Although the movie is classified as action/drama I have to say I laughed so hard I almost fell off the chair. This movie would have been a greater success if it had been classified as comedy. The characters are so stereotype that the movie seems to make fun of the kind of genre it is actually supposed to represent. The problem is, that it takes itself serious, otherwise I think I would have liked it. I am not quite sure whether it is just a bad movie or if it is really bad enough to be interesting. In any case - I am still amused about it. (Besides, Anne Heche is hilarious as the bad girl).
