Though the premise of the movie is pretty simple, it still could have provided a lot of drive-in thrills. There is quite a bit of nudity and sex, the latter of which is occasionally presented in a way that's borders on the perverse (even in the non-rape scenes.) Despite this, the movie is pretty slow and not that exciting, though the climatic action scene has a few unintended laughs by the fact the passer-bys in the background can't seem to hear or see the ruckus going on in front of them. The movie also boasts what may be the cheapest and most hastily-built courtroom in cinematic history.
