IMDB

A group of young women travel around the country hustling people in softball. They beat a group of rednecks. When their coach goes out to get the money they're owed he takes a little too long. A couple girls go out after him, but almost get raped. The coach gets stabbed. As they are fleeing they accidentally kill one of the redneck's, the son of a mercenary. The mercenary calls for a bounty of $1,000 for every dead girl. Now the girls are being hunted and fighting for their lives.
I consider this movie to be a classic. It's got a little bit of everything: baseball, girls with guns, nudity, rednecks, mercenaries, hunting humans and a respectable body count. Some of the movie is pretty tense. I don't like seeing rape in movies, and this one had a lot of near rape-- which I find uncomfortable, but not even close to full on rape. Also, how often do you get to see a movie like this directed by a woman?

10/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
