Storyline

World War II: Allied Command learns that in 60 days three Japanese generals and an admiral party at a bordello on a tiny Philippine island. It's fortified and hard to attack, so a creative, cynical major gets the assignment to figure something else. With the help of Paco, a Filipino guerrilla leader, the major devises a plan to put four women assassins among the prostitutes. He must recruit and train them, convince his general that an unarmed woman can best a man, and get them on the island. The rest is up to them. An imprisoned killer, a nurse with a fatal disease, a chippie on the lamb from the mob, and a Filipina whom the Japanese assaulted are his team. Can they do it?

Awful

My friend got this at the pound shop in a deal, 4 for £1.50. I guess this is because the concept was so bad that nobody would pay a pound for it. Actually, the concept is every bit as good as the acting, story, production and fight scenes. How is it possible to have this many fight scenes and yet be so boring???

The lighting and quality of the DVD were probably as bad as the film, the sound cuts out (although this may be a blessing) and it it worse than a poor pirate. I doubt the producers gave much money as the purpose of this film seems to be getting women to run about talking about how little sex they have been getting recently, and to "prove" that 4 women can tie up an entire army barracks. I don't know what the pitch would be but it might be something like this:

"I have an idea for a film, it is called the hustler squad."

"Is it a cheap porn film?"

"No, it is about empowering women to survive and contribute to a war effort."

"But do they get sweaty??"

"Yes."

"What else happens?"

"Nothing really."

To put it bluntly this film does not deserve 1 out of 10. It is not even amusingly bad, it is just drivel.
