Realism from New Horizon/Roger Corman - one of those "we talked to a lot of runaways turned hookers for research" films. Not bad. Melissa Leo has an early lead role. She goes nude, as required but it does make sense. There's drugs, rape, guns.
There's nice camraderie among the hookers - Leo plus two older ones (one black one white, the latter played by Julie Newmar). Cast also includes Antonio Vargas, Greg German from Ally McBeal and Dale Midkiff, as the indestructible villain (at the end he keeps getting knocked over and charging at Leo). Midkiff overacts at times.
The filmmakers have tried to make a good movie. It doesn't always mesh with the melodrama. But you keep watching.
