AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot:                              

A classic idea but not very much effort seemed to be put in to make it fresh and the storyline needed much thickening to justify a feature length film.

Writing:                        

There is some excellent material in this film but it seemed very repetitive which lost my attention on several occasions.

Acting:                            

The low budget nature of this film is evident in the performances but not severely and the players deserve a lot of recognition for their efforts.

Originality:                     

This is a modern day tribute piece to black and white women in prison films of the past, and a very decent tribute at that, but a few subtle creative diversions could have made this film more special.

Overall:                          

My reaction to this movie is that it would have been a fantastic short but it just doesn't have enough good material to make it more than a mildly entertaining feature.  Fans of the types of film this effort pays tribute to will not be disappointed but other audiences might.
