Oh, a film that had so much promise.It had Nancy Allen from Robocop, and Gina Gershon from Bound, and it was about sex slavery.Unfortunately, it was the second film directed by Mark Sobel, and his inexperience showed. He should have stuck with TV episodes. The writer who penned the screenplay was a newbie too, as he only wrote one other screenplay. Maybe he shot himself after writing this.For a film about sex slavery, the only nudity is shots of Gina Gershon and Lotis Key going skinny dipping after they escape, and before they agree to go back to get Nancy Allen's daughter.Ted Shackelford ("Knots Landing") provides the beefcake, and Allen does end up in bed with him.Oh, it does have a lot of gunfire and numerous Filipinos die, but there was more action going on at my neighbors as it was the 4th of July.

This film is very stupid; it has pretty much the worst plot I've ever seen In a film. It starts with some chicks who look like there trying to escape from a psycho Hospital, they get shot and the credits start to role hmmmm, o.k. Then the lead chick, Nancy Allen. A famous T.V reporter gets a story that involves missing girls in L.A, She meets some informant in a car park for information, He tells her of some crazy man who takes these girls to Asia , drugs them and sales them off. Then the guy walks off into this ugly chick with a gun who shoots him 5 times or something.Now the film just changes to some nightclub in LA, Where 3 badly dressed young girls Are meeting with what they think is a Woman from a modelling agency, who really is the chick with the gun lol, This crazy lady convinces these silly girls to talk about the jobs there going to be doing in her car, And off they go. The crazy chick kidnaps them and Nancy Allen, Take them to get sold in an Auction.From what I remember they get away and take revenge on this crazy woman and all the people working in this kidnapping thing and to find out where Nancy's young Daughter went after her kidnapping, they also get a man helper along the way, who isn't really much help at all.All goes well and girl power wins. Nancy get her daughter back, awwww how sweat, NOT, There you got the full storyline pretty much so you don't have to see it, Avoid it like a plague, And I feel like I want a refund, even if it was 2 dollars, they should've given me the money to take it away from there store. O.K. Enough said, bad film, bad acting, and bad script. Well BAD every thing, I rate it 0 out of 10

I have to say that although this film isn't quite good, casting Nancy Allen, was a brilliant idea. She did as much as she could with a poor direction. In this occasion Nancy plays a mother who has to rescue her daughter, and she does another heroine character very well. I think her best heroine character is Anne Lewis in RoboCop movies, but this one is great too!! In the other hand, this movie has action, adventures, a bit of music, as I said before an excellent performance by Nancy. and I have to mention that two great actors as Martin Landau and Gina work in this film too!! So definitive I recommend it to you, it's suitable to watch with friends, and I give it a 10/10.

Sweet revenge (1987) is a terrible 80's film. The" movie" is about intrigue and abduction in some tropical third world country. It's so sad to see stars such as Martin Landau and Nancy Allen reduced to perform in such tripe. This picture screams "cheap" and the performances were absolutely dreadful. There's nothing worth noting about this film except it was the first film that I've seen Gina Gershon act in. My advice to you my friend is to avoid it like the plague.Horrible, with no redeeming values F-
