David Roggenkamp This is a film about a quite girl and an absolutely rage filled father that gets his dues by inappropriately touching her and raping her. She goes to kick him off and he flies into a window (or something) and ends up with an object embedded in his throat – not only is he dead, but the family's source of income and otherwise livelyhood is gone. Keep this in mind for the duration of the film, because her fate gets strategically worse. Not only does she not want to mix in with her fellow inmates in her new prison home, but she 'just wants to be left alone'. It doesn't work that way here, so instead, everyone wants to harass her. She eventually goes berserker and starts bullying them and beating them up. This leads to meeting the warden on numerous occasions, and he collects his due by having his way with her. Each time it gets progressively worse until he is ready to ship her down the road. A local talent show is her only hope at redemption of otherwise learning about the hardknocks of prison. I had to stop watching the movie here for a few reasons.The gang theme works, it is a prison – but it is repeated numerous times before it gets old, in fact it turns into high school rumble all over again. Several times this girl is sent to the head office to pay for whatever her current infraction is. Left untouched is the other people involved in the rumble – or perhaps it pivotal to the film. The sexuality in this film is played out a bit too much – the movie doesn't mind throwing around lesbian sex, leaving the main character naked on numerous occasions, and otherwise having two of the lead males exploit her. She's finally thrown into a mask and stretcher ala 'Hannibal' after she tries to kill herself; her will and sanity by this point is broken. She finally gets some redemption due to an upcoming talent show and we're shown her softer side – but consider this, wasn't this her entire character at the beginning of the film? Perhaps she was like this to begin with and it wasn't just the prison that did her in but made her worse – the other characters (all women) seem to be fairing far better than her, but I gather that was also because of years spent in penitentiary.Either way, this film is probably a must watch at least once. I don't necessarily recommend it, but it contains some of the most bitter and ironic scenes that are played out as such. I have never had a film stir me so much, and it might just stir you as well.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=3588).

connielevitsky If you are triggered by sexual abuse, incest, drug use, mental illness, then do not watch this movie.I'm not impressed that sexual assault seems to be the driving force behind this film. It was extremely graphic, and at some points, highly unnecessary.The storyline was all over the place, and so was Anna's character - one minute she's shy and reclusive, the next she's addicted to crack and attacking guards, and one day she's having sex with her roommate and the next she's banging the gang leader? The continuity was pretty poor.This movie was clearly low-budget and I don't even know why I wasted an hour of my life that I'm never going to get back.

Mr I J Williams I watched this after watching 'Orange is not the only black', which was very enjoyable. This was not. It's not a comedy like 'Orange' largely is – but nor is it a serious film about what life is really like inside a woman's prison. If you're looking for something deep and soul searching then look elsewhere – but if you're looking for cheap thrills then this is, however, probably exactly what you're looking for. It's basically a violent soft core porn movie. The acting is AWFUL – not a single actor was in anyway credible and the fight sequences were some of the worst ever committed to celluloid. In short, if you're looking for an exploitative sex film and are prepared to put up with the most wooden acting you've ever seen then you'll have a blast.

orangehenryviii Jailbait: The harrowing true story of how beautiful Thai model Sara Malakui Lane became contractually obligated to make movies for The Asylum production company. You know The Asylum, they are the people who make those straight-to-DVD movies that sound like other blockbuster movies, e.g. Battle of Los Angeles, Apocalypse Pompeii, Jack the Giant Killer, you know...the worst movies ever made. Well here is another one, and it is dreadful but you are still going to watch it for the same reason I did, because Sara Malakui Lane is fine as hell and she takes her shirt off more times than Matthew McConaughey on a hot day in Austin. There simply is no other reason to watch this movie folks, unless you enjoy spending an hour and a half watching a movie so bad it looks like their entire technical crew was picked up daily from the parking lot of a Home Depot, and half the cast to boot.
