California teen Anita Minteer (Drew Barrymore) struggles in the face of an absentee mother, her mom's abusive boyfriend, Rooney (Joe Dallesandro), and a lack of respect from her classmates. This all changes when a pen-pal school project connects her with convict Howard (James LeGros). Anita secures Howard's parole and violently squares off against Rooney after he rapes her. Soon enough, the gun-crazy teen is on the run with Howard, with his parole officer (Michael Ironside) in pursuit.

B-
This loose remake of Joseph H. Lewi classic assumes the shape of an exploitation B-picture, but it has some merits, including Drew Barrymore's performance. Go to Full Review

Leia R Jan 12, 2008 Original rating of 4 stars still holds after a 2017 rewatch. Loved this movie when I first saw it in the 90's. Yes, it is a bit dark and nasty, and was probably straight to VHS at the time, but Drew is fantastic here. She really makes Anita sympathetic as an isolated young girl with a horrible home life who makes a bad choice. See more
