| This movie commits the greatest sin of exploitation fare: it's boring.
What's good about this one? Well, the two leads are attractive, and they eventually show some skin later on in the movie. Also, this flick is almost worth watching for the laugh you'll get when first laying eyes on the hilariously zero-budget effect for the prison island. In fact, cheapness rules the day here as this is a strictly low-quality affair.
The thong the background hottie on the DVD cover is sporting? It doesn't show up in this movie. Too bad. That would have raised the rating another 1/2 star.
To be found here instead are a number of only modestly attractive actresses (save the two leads) in unflattering pink minidresses that aren't torn, hiked or removed with near enough frequency to meet minimum sleaze standards. There are also a handful of underwhelming, over-long, late-night cable variety sex scenes scattered throughout the movie, usually with the naughty parts placed annoyingly just off screen. I'm not looking for hardcore here...I'd just like to see more bare female hips during the obviously fake humping. When one actress gets up from a prolonged sex scene, she's magically wearing underwear. I mean, c'mon, what is this, a TV movie?
Without an abundance of flesh (there's some here, but not enough), one is left contemplating the plot. Not a good thing with this type of movie. Of note: one outdoor scene involving the two main actresses getting caught and "punished" by a guard and warden (?) does redeem things for a little while, though, and may justify the purchase cost of the DVD.
The movie veers off into Twilight Zone land toward the end. Without the benefit of English subtitles, I couldn't make sense of what was going on. Not that it mattered or that I cared.
If you are looking for a good "naked-Asian-babes-in-prison" movie, you may wish to look elsewhere. |
