Popcorn feminism on the frontier, starring Andie, Madeleine, Mary and Drew as hookers who go on the run after one of them shoots an abusive customer. This lifts several plot points from "The Wild Bunch", and if the result falls short of greatness, you can't fault the source material. Spending 90 minutes in the company of these four women is no hardship, either, though the frequency with which characters are captured and then have to be rescued gets a little repetitive. My colleague Dr. Sporgersi insists it's worth watching this just for the scenes in which Madeleine Stowe rides a horse.
