Sugar Boxx (2009)

Warning: Spoilers
The Women In Prison genre is pretty strict. If you've seen one of these movies, you pretty much know what you're going to get any time you watch another. Sugar Boxx seems to be intended as a bit of a throwback, kind of like the Grindhouse double feature--a retro minded film paying tribute to 70's era exploitation.

Set in Florida, it involves a reporter going undercover to expose conditions in a corrupt women's prison camp. The reporter sees pretty much all the things you expect her to see in this situation. She makes it out, but her evidence isn't enough to convict anyone. So she breaks back in with the help of several ex-inmates and some guards, and they kill off the corrupt staff.

Overlooking the usual low budget limitations, I didn't find this movie especially entertaining. It moved along briskly enough that I was able to stay with it, but didn't really enjoy it. It was just there.
