| Plot: | A first-time female convict tries to surivive the harsh world of prison life.
|
| Overview: | Prepare yourself to enter the brutal reality of a woman's prison in director Raymond Leung Pun-Hei's debut feature. Carrie Ng stars as "Crazy Bitch" Winnie; flashbacks reveal how Winnie earned her nickname, while furious and often unpleasant action keeps the story moving inexorably forward to its explosive conclusion. Other main roles are played by Season Ma Si-San as an innocent first-time convict (known by her number, 7144) and Meg Lam Kin-Ming as an unexpectedly maternal prisoner. The supporting players (including Andy Lau Tak-Wah as a boyfriend of one of the characters) may appear stereotypical (nearly unavoidable in the prison genre), yet unique identities are carved out, thanks in part to the unglamorous, down-and-dirty direction by Ramond Leung Pun-Hei (he made the recent and interesting Day Off). It's fascinating to compare the similarities–and differences–between this film and the better-known male prison drama Prison on Fire.
