Jailbait

5 of 10. Like Blue is the Warmest Color, this is an attempt to give softcore/comic book porn a bigger story. Unlike it, the women actually look like young women as opposed to 15-year-olds. Also unlike it, it doesn't drag on for an extra hour, but it still feels long and redundant despite being half the length.

By the end of the film, the title takes on a double meaning in addition to the most obvious one. That helps recover a story that felt artificial, melodramatic, and cliché too often. It shows the brutal nastiness of prison and how it is far from the ideal space for reform and recovery of the young, yet it feels too forced. About the only exception is the well-acted sleezey warden character.

More than anything, this felt like a film intended solely to feature Sara Malakul Lane. It does that, but it also features that she's in need of good direction and a story. Sara alone isn't enough.

I watched this after watching 'Orange is not the only black', which was very enjoyable. This was not. It's not a comedy like 'Orange' largely is – but nor is it a serious film about what life is really like inside a woman's prison. If you're looking for something deep and soul searching then look elsewhere – but if you're looking for cheap thrills then this is, however, probably exactly what you're looking for. It's basically a violent soft core porn movie. The acting is AWFUL – not a single actor was in anyway credible and the fight sequences were some of the worst ever committed to celluloid. In short, if you're looking for an exploitative sex film and are prepared to put up with the most wooden acting you've ever seen then you'll have a blast.

They could've at least tried to cast young looking adults to play teens. All these "juveniles" look like middle-aged women. But....gotta love all the boobies though :D.

Jailbait: The harrowing true story of how beautiful Thai model Sara Malakui Lane became contractually obligated to make movies for The Asylum production company. You know The Asylum, they are the people who make those straight-to-DVD movies that sound like other blockbuster movies, e.g. Battle of Los Angeles, Apocalypse Pompeii, Jack the Giant Killer, you know...the worst movies ever made. Well here is another one, and it is dreadful but you are still going to watch it for the same reason I did, because Sara Malakui Lane is fine as hell and she takes her shirt off more times than Matthew McConaughey on a hot day in Austin. There simply is no other reason to watch this movie folks, unless you enjoy spending an hour and a half watching a movie so bad it looks like their entire technical crew was picked up daily from the parking lot of a Home Depot, and half the cast to boot.

Jailbait is not a good movie but it is entertaining. It is an illogical poorly written mess but it was interesting to see Anna's decline and redemption. What this movie did right was prison life some of it was unrealistic but some of the concepts they showed in this film were spot on another bonus is the sex scenes with Sara Malakul Lane lol what more can you want. I could spend hours talking about how bad this movie was but it was a guilty pleasure with a satisfying ending. So if your're bored and have time to kill then I would suggest Jailbait which is free on hulu and Netflix plus even with it's multiple problems I'm sure you'll find some entertainment in this like I did.
