not quite and but close . linda blair have prove again and again that she share a rare quality with mark hamill and the ability to attach herself to one cinematic landmark and follow it with an entire career of complete trash . i saw red heat on tv when i be about 11. perhaps i be too young to understand this film more basic appeal at that time and what i do get from it be that woman in prison do crazy thing to each other . be there a plot beyond that . i be not sure . there something about an escape attempt but it isn not very clear . red heat can really be best describe a crap . it doesn not even succeed at that fun or pathetic b movie level . the picture be alternately boring and confuse . the end be about as clear a a muddy ditch and a lot less satisfy . i would comment on blair performance if she would actually give one . red heat be a forgettable and exploitive little thing that should have be make by someone who understand the genre . i give it no star .
