Review of Girl Gang

Girl Gang (1954)
1/10
A few seconds here and there of unintentional bad humor doesn't even warrant this to be a fun bad movie.

Warning: Spoilers
If there is indeed an underworld, Hollywood executives who are sent there will be forced to spend eternity watching these hideous exploitation movies.

There there a long periods of silence in this ultra boring garbage about heroin-addicted teenagers in their late 20's who use their womenly wiles to rob lustful men on the road simply so they can get another fix. The rule of thumb in making these movies what is make it fast, make it cheap and find whoever was available at whatever Hollywood dive Bar you could locate them in. It attempts to show the dangers of drug abuse but ends up being instantly forgettable because it is obviously not sincere in trying to provide a moral message. Nobody in the film is worth singling out for any of their performances because they are just all equally bland and quickly forgettable.

The use of extreme sexuality in its narrative shows that there really is no moral conscience behind this and the trouble is that it isn't even funny. None of the women really are attractive, overly made-up and wearing clothing far too tight, while the men that they are involved with are beyond deplorable. The film is also very inconsistent in its plot and also looks like it was filmed in a bunch of cardboard boxes assembled to look like a huge building. Film historians will be interested in this or others like it simply for the genre of exploitation but there is nothing to recommend outside of being grateful that these types of films simply just are not made anymore.
