- Quotes
Donna: Look, I really don't think I can do it.
Sandra: Sure you can. It'll be easy and you'll never even know what happened.
Donna: Now, you're just gonna take pictures?
Sandra: That's all. Donna, look honey, all you have to do is give him the pill. Just drop it in his drink. Then when he's groggy, we come in and take a picture. It's simple.
Donna: Well, is there anything extra in it for me?
Sandra: A thousand cash.
Donna: I think I'm going to like working for you, Sandra.

Featured review
This film begins in Mexico with a small group of female convicts being transported outside of the prison walls to work on a detail. Having conspired with one another beforehand, they then create a diversion which allows one of the women named "Sandra" (Georgina Spelvin) to escape on foot where another woman named "Erica" (Rosalind Miles) is waiting in a car for her. Erica then takes her to a large house where a mob boss by the name of "Moreno" (Kent Taylor) introduces himself and then explains that he wants her to kill a local politician by the name of "Halloran" (Hugh Warden). Sandra agrees and with the help of Erica they convince another one of Moreno's female employees named "Donna" (Susan McIver) to seduce Halloran and, in the process, slip a pill into his drink which will put him to sleep. Although Donna is initially reluctant, both Sandra and Erica convince her that everything will be okay. However, once Donna does as she is told, she discovers that the pill she put in Halloran's drink was extremely deadly and that she had just been tricked into committing murder. Needless to say, this terrifies her and in a state of sheer panic she decides to escape from Moreno's organization by hastily attempting to drive to Mexico. What she doesn't know, however, is that one of Moreno's henchmen had bugged her phone and as a result both Sandra and Erica have now been sent to silence her--once and for all. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, for a low-budget production, this film wasn't nearly as bad as I initially expected. To that effect, I thought that both Georgina Spelvin and Susan McIver performed quite well, all things considered. Unfortunately, I have to admit that some of the other actors didn't do nearly as well and the film suffered because of it. That being said, while this movie wasn't terribly bad, it wasn't without its flaws and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
