This female prison camp chief in Siberia tortures prisoners and has sex with prison guards. 20-odd years later the action switches to a bordello in Canada for more torture and sex.
The good - the music is OK, the camera is steady, and the sex and nudity are mildly titillating.
The bad - everything else. This film has had a moderate number of positive reviews from people who enjoy sex/torture/prison camp movies - this is the third in a series, so the genre obviously has its enthusiasts - but irrespective of the pros and cons of the subject matter, this offering is just plain shoddy in every way.
Let me be specific. The script is very, very bad indeed. And as bad as the script is, the acting is far, far worse. I have been to offerings by the local amateur dramatic society where the worst performance has been better than the performances here by a wide margin. The US citizens trying - and failing - to deliver Russian accents are among the worst offenders, but everyone is guilty.
This is a film to be avoided.
