This film hypothesizes that someday in the future, Great Britain will be racked by a great civil war with its ancillary countries that are under the regime's thumb and that females will be recruited into special units to fight the war. The film examines the women who are combatants in one of these units. However, the film concentrates mostly on the emotional under-pinnings of these women rather than any war experiences.

Horrible. Terrible. Awful. Words just can't describe this artsy, soft-core, sex-violence romp, passing itself off as an anti-war film with deep meaning. The characters are just that, "Characters". One is crazier then the next. Each is suppose to be haunted by a war that has just ended, making each a wild, out-of-control, sex-starved, bunch of psycho misfits. The acting is way over the top, cheesy, and basically terrible. Guy Pierce looks pale and sickly, and at one points climbs up a tree to scream at the moon in a lunatic howl. He must of seen the final result of his performance in this smelly mess. However, there are a few minor good points. A beautiful island, a host of sexy-long legged British beauties who can't wait to strip off their clothes, and even the legendary 1960s model, Twiggy, ardently kissing another women; bedding her down in the process. If you're looking for a great ant-war film, rent or buy Paths of Glory or MASH, and don't waste a cent on this mess.
