The plot shows its simplicity from the first scene when two groups of men meet to exchange "stuff" for "merchandise." We speculated heavily about what these two things were until we discovered "stuff" was drugs and "merchandise" was women for trafficking. One of the dudes involved in this was an undercover agent who defected to the bad side and tried to kill his female partner. Said female partner is taken out of retirement to form a squad that will take him and the other traffickers down. Not too strangely, she asks for an all-female team. Strangely, she wants them to all be women culled from a maximum security prison who will get an option of a shortened sentence if they live and succeed. The ladies are given short-shorts and artfully torn shirts to train in and we get to hear the one inspirational 80s montage song that they paid for over and over again. The last half hour of the movie involves the mankillers actually killing men and rescuing the trafficked girls who are way more clothed than they are. At one point, McKenna, the leader is kidnapped by the bad guy and the red head who is on death row shows that she has had a change of heart in her commitment to the team and leads the group to save her.
The strange thing about this movie as an explotation film is that there is no real nudity. At one point while running a girl's breasts came out fo her shirt but it was clearly an accident that was kept in. Somehow though the perpetual bralessness and super short shorts made the movie feel more obscene than a film with blatant nudity.
Overall, it was decent. It was no "Deadly Prey" but it was definitely worth a watch.
Spoon Rating: 6
