    A total letdown..

    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.

    For Women...By Woman...

    I absolutely loved this movie! I was a teenager when this came out years ago. Me and my sisters always understood it and enjoyed it. There's always some male chauvinist thinking, all this is ridiculous and extreme! Well if Charles Bronson can do it so can we! I think WOMEN make excellent Vigilantes! Even today so often the justice system drops the ball in our court and we have to do what we can to make our best shot. Very emotionally charged this movie was. Low-budget B-movie Yes, it made about 289,000 at the box office, but to this day it is a rare cult classic. And rightly so! There also was a sequel I'm hoping to find that as well. The movie was excellent and if you are a victim of sex crimes yourself you really understand and feel the depth of these characters. I really wish they'll make more movies like this! Maybe it'll make a Predator think again before doing such heinous crimes. It will be all so nice if Predators like this could be castrated automatically with their prison sentences. Now we're talkin!

    A nice idea, but the realization needs more work

    It seemed like this movie couldn't make up its mind how seriously it wanted viewers to take it. The idea is good: a group of (female) rape victims band together to inflict vigilante-type punishment on rapists and other (male) predators, but is the actual movie a variation on popular themes from THE ACCUSED and DEATH WISH, or a genre-spoof? It depends on which scene you're watching. The rapists exaggerate their disgustingness to the point of being campy (even the great character actor Nicholas Worth, who was the established go-to-guy for playing terrifying, hideous, disgusting rapists, plays clownishly here, like a cartoon bad-guy). But the scenes where the women try to cope with the psychic damage they suffer from being raped are portrayed seriously, like in THE ACCUSED.

    I had the feeling they could have fixed this if they had spent a bit more time on the script and on the directing and really decided on what they were trying to do. I look forward to a possible remake.

    This movie takes vigilante to a whole different level

    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.
