          Doesn't deserve all the hate

          Com'n people, seriously less than 4 out of 10? It's pornographic and some actors/actresses were amateurs when the movie was filmed. The movie is of pornographic nature so most scenes are there to satisfy sexual desires. Therefore you won't see things that you would expect from other non pornographic movies. For a pornographic movie like this, they did a good job already: full frontal nudity, slaves, submission, erotic dancing and so on. Anything you would see in a porn will be in this movie. Don't be so picky, you don't need to watch it if you think it will be a bad movie. Looking forward to watching the next one.

          Nudity, Sex and More Nudity

          Lured by bogus employment proposals women are kidnapped and forced into sex slavery for wealthy businessmen who fly deep into the Amazon jungle to satisfy their lust. The mastermind of this operation is a man by the name of "Edgar" (Sergio Hingst) and along with his wife "Helena" (Elizabeth Hartman) they represent the dregs of humanity and seem only interested in fulfilling their carnal desires. Yet while their debauchery continues night and day the leader of the imprisoned women, "Betty" (Sandra Graffi), has come up with a daring plan to escape. At any rate, so much for the general plot which might have amounted to something if the director (Osvaldo de Oliveira) had made even a half-hearted attempt to create something bordering on average. Instead, all this movie offers has to offer is nudity, sex and more nudity. Now, considering that some of the women--most notably Elys Cardoso (as "Liz"), Shirley Benny ("Mary") and the aforementioned Sandra Graffi--weren't at all bad-looking, this film certainly had possibilities. But the acting and the script were extremely basic, and it lacked the necessary character development and direction required for even a mediocre film. In essence, the entire movie seemed created simply to set up one sexual scenario after another with no concern at all for a quality picture. That said, while I appreciate the efforts of the young ladies who graced the screen, I still must rate this movie as below average.

          Great Women in prison film.

          Young women are kidnapped in the amazon by Brazilian satanists, whose goal is to sell them to the highest foreign bidder. Some of the girls manage to escape but are pursued by their captors. In order to gain their freedom, the girls must outwit their captors. Bringing the film to a sleazy climax. Lots of nudity, lesbianism, and chessy dance numbers, the usual stuff you see in a good WIP film. Thats 'Women in Prison' for all you cinema illiterates.

          Whatever good ideas the script might have had, the directing killed them

          Evil businessman Edgar (who's pretty ridiculous looking with his thick mustache) runs a human trafficking joint from his home somewhere deep in the amazon jungle. His wife Helena is part of the business, it's her job to keep the women - harmless tourists who were offered lucrative jobs and got kidnapped instead - in check.

          Unsurprisingly, a few of the women plan an escape. So far, so good. Not the worst idea for a "women in prison" flick. But what follows is party scene after party scene, and "but you promised us you would help us escape" - "I do, just wait a little longer" exchanges between one of the women and the nephew of Edgar (that's right, he doesn't even get a name).

          The whole storyline is just a sorry excuse to show as many topless or fully nude women on screen as possible. Now, I'm not prude, and have nothing against nudity in films. But here it's the only quality the film has to offer. Sad news for everyone who was hoping for some naked men as well: Only a few very hairy chests can be seen.

          At least the casting was done well enough, and the women really do look very attractive. But on the other hand, the internet is full of very attractive and very nude women, so there's absolutely no reason to waste your time on this movie.

          Break free

          No pun intended - the WIP movies ... or is it a genre? Women in Prison by the way in case you were wondering. Now you can argue that these movies put power into female hands - and it is not entirely untrue that you have women who do a lot of fighting.

          But you also have to admit, that this is all done while there is lots of nudity and intercourse going on. Not always consensual by the way - which does not make it better. Even coerced is quite ... lightly describing some of the things you see here.

          Different times you may say - also this is only a movie. All fair enough, but if like me you're not the biggest fan of things like that, you have been warned.

          But this isn't even the only issue you may have with this ... this seems to break free at some point, just to be pulled back in. Also we have these bad guys (captors) and then later on we get even more and other baddies ... one even says openly he hates women.

          So it all boils down to: are you a fan of movies like this or not? If not do not even try it out ... if you're curious watch the trailer first ... you'll get the vibe and all that.

            Helena: [addressing women in the corral] Everyone up! A few of you leave tomorrow morning. Do everything you can to please the buyers and you'll lead a life of luxury - jewels - and we all like jewels. And you never can tell, girls, you could meet the man of your life. He'll take care of you. Not bad, eh?

            Betty: You can count me out. We're not merchandise to be bought and sold. You got most of us here with the promise of work. Nobody mentioned being locked up in this filthy hole.

            Helena: Shut up, girl. You don't like it? Well, too bad. Follow orders or you get some of this.
