Programmer's Pick

Fred Olen Ray gives the women-in-prison genre a shot of adrenaline with kickboxing showdowns, double-crosses, and a protagonist who can take as much as she dishes out. Expect more than the usual prison melodrama—here, every punch and plot twist comes with attitude and a side of sass.
