Women in Cages

I expected a little more from this movie because I heard a lot about it before seeing it, but it's still a decent B-movie that has a lot of its time, a certain naivety, but also the effort to finally show a little more and push the limits of what is possible to show on screen. And Pam Grier is beautiful and captivating, as are most of the women in the cast. (2015.10.14)

A cult classic of the exploitation genre. Considering the reputation of this picture I would expect loads of scenes where a sadistic doctor played by Pam Grier is torturing everybody, loads of naked beauties behind bars and maybe elsewhere... Instead of that, this is chaste through and through and a sort of regular B-movie. It even has a story. Women in Cages is entertaining and surprisingly it isn’t ridiculous even at the moments when maidens in miniskirts are running around the jungle with machine guns. It’s not at all bad, not relying on just a couple of good scenes, but overall its shamefully mediocre. We’ve seen so many B-movies like it and more are bound to follow. (2007.07.30)
