Uncaged

This is a bad movie that I happen to enjoy and find entertaining. I saw it on HBO about 7 years ago, and liked it enough to tape it and watch it a few times. Yes, I know it's exploitive and sleazy, but then again I certainly wasn't bored. I actually like the ending a lot. The last few moments are actually fairly well-done.

This movie barely falls into the "so bad, it's good" category of movies. It's basically about five prostitutes who live on the streets and dream of a better life. One of them cares for her mentally challenged brother, who is that way after being hit on the head as a toddler by an adult. After the brother witnesses the hookers' psychotic pimp kill one of their own, it's an all-out war:the pimp vs. the whores. The ending was suspenseful, and the acting was decent, but that was pretty much all this has to recommend to it. I got this as part of a Roger Cormon double feature DVD I got along with the movie Streets-that one was better. This was wasn't too good-OK at best.

** out of ****

This is a tense, tragic crime story about prostitutes caught in a territorial struggle between pimps. One pimp is psychotic and the other is just a thug. The characters are believable enough that the tension works, you can feel the danger the women are in, and feel sorry for them when their friends are hurt.

There are a few shots of strippers in a nightclub and prostitutes at work, but no more than are needed to advance the plot. This isn't a soft-porn, it's a drama.

Hard to imagine a worse movie than this. Doesn't even qualify as a "it's so bad it's funny" flick. I couldn't place who the lead actress was until I looked it up and realized it was the same girl from the 80's sitcom "Head of the Class". What, besides $, would make her do this?

It was actually a pretty decent late night film have a copy of it on it DVD a double feature with a similar film called streets both are rarer films but this particular one I found rather enjoyable seen it a few times I would recommend if you're a Jeffrey dean morgan fan
