Grindhouse iconoclast Stephanie Rothman helms this subversive action spectacle, “a lurid exploitation subject turned into a crafty feminist allegory” (Dave Kehr). Dumped on an island off the coast of California, convicted death row inmates are left to duke it out for themselves. At first enslaved by a fascistic patriarchal regime, the women of the island rise up in revolt against their male oppressors—and blow up plenty of stuff in the process.
