some people may remember ms. russell from film such a black widow and which have some appeal and critical acclaim . boy and she must have really need a rent check when she sign on to do this dog . yes and there will be those who like the gratuitous violence and nudity . but one must sit back and wonder and in retrospect and what possess anyone to spend money and time to make this in the first place . i just saw this movie on one of the hbo and and i can not believe they pick it up . in 1996 ms. russel do not have the physical attractiveness she do earlier in her career . but and come on . have her play ma barker . her son all look like they could be her brother . it also creepy in that you think there be go to be incestuous relationship occur ( thank goodness there aren not and hope that doesn not count a a spoiler ) . with eric robert and alyssa milano add into the cast and this one be b movie traight to video all the way . the scene between purvis and ma barker and either in person or on the phone and be a primer in terrible and terrible acting . oh and wait and i forget terrible and terrible writing as well . chalk this one up to experience . a bad experience .
