Pathetic pointless exploitation

Warning: Spoilers
In 'Women of Cellblock 9', the women get captured, the women get naked, the women get tortured and the women get killed. Most of the scenes are of the four women chained by the neck naked as one by one they are led away to be tortured. They escape by using the tired old 'lets have a lesbian orgy' trick and of course the lame guard falls for it! Two lame karate chops later (incredibly the only fighting in the movie), our nude quartet flee the camp, but one is shot dead almost immediately. Her dim cellmates drop the only weapon they have and head for the jungle with the wicked warden in pursuit. After an unexciting chase featuring lots of clumsily edited stock footage of crocodiles, the two remaining girls are gunned down. End of movie.

This disaster fails as a Women In Prison feature because it breaks the mould in the worst possible way - the heroines die without taking any of the bad guys with them. I can put up with any amount of sick torture in a WIP movie if the women get to exact some bloody revenge and escape!

Absolute rubbish of the highest order from Franco made even worse by the news one of the nudie convicts was underage at the time the film was made.
