Cheap drugs, cheap women, cheap movies. Tanya Robert's. Yes, she has onscreen charm to spare, at least as Sheena and as a Bond girl. She helped wrap up the last season of "Charlie's Angel's", and here, she's stuck with the cliched plot of women in prison and that means lots of nasty supporting characters, a ton of unnecessary sexual activity and unfair laws for two women unfortunately tossed in for being involved in a drug bust they were completely innocent of.
While not unwatchable, it doesn't really bring anything new to the genre and the acting is marginal at best. Roberts does what she's required to do and at least she's consistent. But the film as a whole is pretty repulsive for its obvious exploitation and attempts to make it poetic or profound just end up laughably disgusting. If it wasn't for Roberts, I would have avoided it completely.
