This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I own this movie and I remember going to see it when it came out. A female cop gets raped by a gang of punks who's lawyer gets them off with a slap on the wrist. This cop is then approached by a lady doctor whose young daughter was attacked and killed by a pedophile. The women form a support group for women who have been sexually assaulted or abused. Within the group the doc and the cop along with other "hardcore" members decide to take matters in to their own hands. With the cop's help, they track down sex offenders and take out their own "special brand" of justice. It was sooo much fun to watch all the women in the theatre cheering the ladies on and watching all the guys slink down in their seats giving their girls covert looks. You could just hear them thinking: Would she?? Remember, this was in the days BEFORE Lorena Bobbit. I think it's a great movie especially for the tongue-in-cheek neo feminist set. If you can find it (try half.com), it's a great movie for a "man bash" session. Just invite your girlfriends over and open a bottle of merlot and have some laughs.
This, like ENOUGH, starring Jennifer Lopez, and others dealing with abuse issues are movies about what many women feel about wrongs done, and are a good way to work through the anger without actually having to go to jail for "acting out!" I am waiting for this one on DVD.
This movie could have been a more elaborate 'I Spit on Your Grave'. While it does go further into the ethics as to whether two wrongs make a right, it lacks the strong punch that made 'Spit' unforgettable. All in all there is more talk than action. Castration is intense yet the movie drops the ball. I'd like to see more of the villains in the post-castration mode. Boring with an ending that barely registers.
Too bad no one knows of this film. A group of rape victims, angered over the lack of justice in their respective cases, go on a vigilante spree, capturing repeat sex offenders and castrating them. If only the country could embrace this message, what a wonderful world it would be.
