Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
宗教隐喻和恐怖以及性爱元素相结合
范伟表演真的强，不愧是影帝，把一个卧底表演的入木三分，开始有多恨他，在知道真相后就有多爱他，在他最后骂“我说你奶奶个腿”，让我拍手称快，太过瘾了
很奇怪，两个小时的体量却显得如此单薄，故事也算有头有尾却又有些破碎无法让人沉浸，还好少数几个人物倒也显得立体再加上可圈可点的服化道，没有白熬两个小时。
周也安安静静当个电影里的花瓶还是合格的
合着我39块钱是他妈的全给了范伟是吧？那范伟老师片酬要是低了我建议把剧组集体拉出去枪毙，他妈的。
老范可圈可点 片尾刘德华唱《铁道游击队》 瞬间感动了
上映前评论：周也目前的待播戏里我最看好和期待的一个。搭张涵予老师和范伟老师这样的大咖，也子还是一番女主，肯定能学到不少东西，也能在这种主旋律电影里混个脸熟。真好，也子继续加油吧！希望和颂以后能继续像20年这样让也子无缝进组，多拍点正剧，多拍点主旋律电影，和前辈多学点东西，咱们不是奔着当95花去的，咱们要拿奖！
1 星给新人导演。整体制作非常精良，几个主要演员表演都很精准，令人印象深刻。类型定位略有偏差，和上映时的市场没对接上，市场表现可惜了电影品质。
大概是声画升级版的“手撕鬼子”吧，导演不行。

剧作还是很扎实，质感调性都有可圈可点的地方，但就是很难找到商业性亮点，也确实不好宣发
今天腊八 今年没有年三十
电影质感很足，但是剧情过于平淡，角色也都没怎么立起来，情感比较难代入。总体还算精致吧，足以给饱受抗日神剧荼毒的观众洗眼，新时代这样的电影有必要更多。
华谊现在拍这种抗战题材，质感拿捏得已经很到位了，就是剧情可以再好好雕琢下，这片子结尾战斗部分一团乱，影响了整体的质量。
如此牛逼的故事放在好莱坞都是价值千万的剧本，你居然拍成这样？最大亮点居然还是刘德华的“微山湖上静悄悄…”只能说以前的老电影实在太牛，一首歌的氛围秒了导演俩小时…滚吧，今后此导演拉黑！
昨天去看了 真的感觉范伟老师演的太好啦 我全程都被他带动 哪怕一个背影立在那里都是可以传达出情绪的
范伟演技真是封神了，每次看都觉得电影界欠他一个终身成就奖，实在是相当流畅自然，一出现就让人挪不开眼。本以为张涵予是武，范伟是文，没想到看到最后范伟是文武双全，被捕时刻的笑容超绝——无谓、释然、讥讽、自得，太多可解读的情绪。本身都笼罩在大雪之中，制作优良，还原扎实，给老故事增添了新色彩。
伪精致废片。不把范伟和小烧煤工作为主线人物，是最大的失败。冒险去掏申请书那段，几乎是新时代的“从胸口左内兜掏出带血的两块钱记得给我把 费交上”。废车厢宣誓那段，音乐几乎把影厅房顶子给掀了。这就是华谊拍《八佰》之后要付的代价吗？
张涵予一出来像纽约黑帮，一说话是丰台大哥。最有感情的地方用了最糟糕的配乐，只能说华语电影不能没有范伟，以他为主线这个故事会好太多。
7.5/10.
