I enjoyed this film. Ram Rod (played by Wings Hauser) is so good and has such presence. When you watch him, as Ram Rod, you hate him. This film is taut and gritty. It captured street life, perfectly. I like the fact that the film doesn't linger on morality. It had quite a nihilistic feel to it. There's one particular scene, in which Princess (Season Hubley) is at a bar talking 'shop' with her fellow hookers. It was a scene of pure honesty. Some women do what they've got to do to make a living and there's nothing wrong with it.
Wings Hauser plays a crazed pimp, Ram Rod, who loves to punish his hookers by torturing them to death. Gary Swanson, plays a determined vice cop out to stop this psycho. When Hubley's best friend is killed by Hauser, she is blackmailed, by Swanson (Tom Walsh) to go undercover to bring this psycho pimp down.
A Personal Note from Robin
Right after the movie opens, one of Ram Rod's "workers" is bound to a bed with her stockings and a clothes hanger.
