Bad Girls (1994)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 7/08

7/08: Well, it had to happen.

There exists a chick flick version of The Wild Bunch, and it's called *shudder* Bad Girls. The plot is almost the same as the Western legend, and some of the editing smacks of Peckinpah's distinctive style. But it goes further by disrespecting the film while being equipped with a poor screenplay and lame action sequences.

Meanwhile, I like the casting for two of the four prostitutes: Madeleine Stowe and Andie MacDowell. However, I'm not sure about Mary Stuart Masterson. She seems to be a lesbian.

I don't like the inclusion of Drew Barrymore; she isn't even in the same league as the first two actresses. Plus, she keeps pulling the same crap that Michelle Rodriguez always does. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio would make a better substitute. Dermot Mulroney and James LeGros are terrible. Robert Loggia's role isn't magnified enough, and he should've been the main villain.

All in all, Bad Girls doesn't work on many levels.
