This should be a recipe of trashy fun; however, this shockingly dull film is just garbage. Go to Full Review

Simone G @Saimonlulic85 10h Bravissima Catherine oxenberg nell'interpretare l'infermiera Sarah Mckinney condannata a 8 anni per aver ucciso suo marito violento difendendo suo figlio vero colpevole. Un film che racconta l'ambiente carcerario dove per essere riabilitata al sistema si è costretti a lavorare in uno strip locale,e lei la Mckinney che prima dice no ma poi per poter uscire prima di prigione e rivedere suo figlio è costretta a dire si e ballare all'inizio con la sua compagna di cella. Nel ballare all'inizio sembra impacciata per poi sciogliersi e ballare come una strip professionista. Da notare che lei è più grande delle altre ragazze,l'anno che è uscito il film lei aveva 39 anni. Unico errore del regista è quando lei entra in carcere e si spoglia rimanendo in mutande per poi non averle quando sta andando a farsi la doccia ,per il resto film bellissimo e interpretazione magistrale della oxenberg. Film che merita di essere visto. See more 10/27/2012 A top shelf WIP film. A woman goes to prison after her boy kills her abusive husband. She is coerced into dancing at a strip club in the prison's progressive work release program. Liked Jeff Fahey's character and Catherine Oxenberg looks great. See more 05/09/2012 Time Served is time well spent. Imprisoned Oxenberg is recruited for the work-release program as a stripper at a local gentleman's club. Higher standards than the usual women-in-prison fare, noted by a far better cast than the genre demands--maybe the only WIP film featuring an Oscar winner in its cast (Louise Fletcher). See more 08/20/2011 Probably attains the highest point any WIP film can reach as this one even strives for some honest emotions amid the exploitation - the nerve! Catherine Oxenberg is convicted by a harsh, corrupt judge with a grudge for killing her husband in self-defense. After initial resistance, she's off to the strip club with the rest of the inmates to circumvent abuse from the guards and expose the dirty deeds of the system. This one has it all really - gratuitous nudity and legitimate actors all wrapped in one! Louise Fletcher is a hoot as the acid-tongued prison warden, while Bo Hopkins steals the show as the hilariously sleazy strip club owner, my favorite performance in this type role of all time. Oxenberg is convincing and even earns our sympathy as the unjustly imprisoned mother, plus who doesn't want to see this Princess take her kit off? 3 stars is generous, but since it represents the peak of the field I will allow it - call me guilty as charged.
