My first negative review


I have always limited my discussions on IMDB Boards to positive comments about actors and/or films, however, this movie is so bad that, in the hope that someone else will be spared from wasting their time on it, I felt moved to write a warning message. The acting is so awful, the sets and props so amateurish (a Red Cross flag pinned over a bed to denote a hospital, for example!), and the story-line so poorly crafted that I felt embarrassed for anyone who has their name attached to this production. The writers probably should have spent an entire weekend on the script, instead of the lunch-hour they used to jot down the dialogue on a napkin. This movie is not bad enough to be comical, nor good enough to be serious and, if it was intended as a spoof, it failed. It might have been saved by some well-executed erotica, but the nudity and sex scenes were just lame. Sometimes, even in a bad movie, there is a character or actor who stands out, sadly this is not the case. A total flop with no redeeming value - I would be surprised if the creators made back the limited money that was spent on this fiasco.

Indeed, we watched it just to see how bad it was. At first I thought they were going for a blaxploitation feel, but it was just too bad for even that. The only place for the cast and crew to go after this is just to do hardcore porn. Something like this would not even go on my resume, and I'm not even an actor. I've seen high school student films done better. I would love to know who green lit this, because I have a million ideas (none good) but that obviously didn't stop them here.

If I should fall asleep and death takes me away don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.

Yeah who cares that you didn't like a low budget, jailsploitation, schlock movie like this. What did you expect? A 50 million dollar Hollywood blockbuster?

To me it seems independent low budget film is below your standards so please go watch Hollywood remakes and marvel at all the explosions and effects!

Since you must be either the writer or director of this trash, I'm sorry if I offended you. I hope that you have returned to your full-time job, as a stock-room boy at Walmart, and are now a productive citizen again.
