Audience Member Andrew Duggan's performance of a troubled and troubling prison warden is the most interesting aspect of this picture. But, there's more. Performances by the female cast are all commendable and this might be the first Hollywood movie to deal with prison nurseries. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Strictly drive in stuff but thanks to the talent involved much better than these types of film usually are. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member remake of 'caged' without talented actors in the leads Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I really wanted to like this movie but right from the start it was boring.I watched it hoping it would get better but it never did.The best part of House Of Women was the end & I'm not trying to be funny.The final riot & hostage situation was the only time I woke up & started to get into it.By then I think there was only like 5-10 minutes left so that should tell you how much I thought of this movie.Zzzzzz....... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
