Deplorable characters without any redeeming values, pathetically amateurish, melodramatic acting, truly cringe-worthy "dialogue", secondary school level direction and production and all capped off by an adolescent's idea of "being hard and tough" by spewing the F word and the C word literally every other second.

I love low budget. I love Troma-type films. I love classic video nasties. This one however lacks any kind of sense of humor and comes off as nothing less than a hack effort across the board made by incompetents who would better serve society by selling off all of their lousy camera equipment.

3* which is my absolute minimum for any film, simply to give passing respect to the effort. Sadly I can think of no redeeming qualities in this mess.

Shakespeare, it ain't.

Two escaped criminals decide they want a woman to rape...technically not a hostage as they have no demands. The cops looking for them aren't much better than the criminals.

This appears to be a poorly restored film. There is a line that constantly goes down the left side of the screen. There are scenes that are blurred with yellow "X" marks in them. The flashback scenes aren't exciting and there is really just one graphic rape porn scene in the film about an hour into it. Not too much sex with hostages. The film attempts to make an argument for the death penalty.
