Avis à la une
Jared Cohn delivers here a great homage to the classic exploitation genre women in prison. With a cast of virtual unknowns lead by the drop dead gorgeous Sara Malakul Lane, we are shown the tale of a young girl wrongfully imprisoned and wronged by life itself. She continues making bad decisions but with choice for in this vicious prison environment the only way to make it through the day is to find a way to survive.
We are given a look, a realistic look, at prison life, but we've seen this before, even on the shows like Locked Up, which was notorious for showing real prison life. The direction is fine, the camerawork and lighting are all good, the music leaves much to be desired, perhaps someone should've chosen a more appropriate score, and there's several continuity editing errors. I have seen some of Jared Cohn's other work, I'm sure this is just from lack of great personnel or a rushed schedule.
I wholeheartedly recommend people watch this. You get a fun-filled non-stop gripping tale of a young girl's survival, and if that's not enough, it's filled with non-stop gratuitous nudity on an epic level.

While "Jailbait" tries to accomplish a lot of things with its fairly stereotypical and way too unrealistic storyline, then director Jared Cohn fails to make a lasting impact with this movie.
The story in "Jailbait" is about Anna (played by Sara Malakul Lane) who is sexually molested by her step dad and accidentally kills him. Going to a juvenile rehabilitation center, Anna ends up learning how life inside the prison walls can be with all its hardships, alliances and abuse.
From an entertaining point of view then "Jailbait" was actually a good enough movie to watch because it wasn't boring and it kept on a brisk pace. However, if you put on a set of realism goggles, then everything in this movie just falls to the ground fast and shatters into a million pieces. Nothing about the things happening inside the juvenile rehabilitation facility is really realistic, and things are portrayed fleetingly and just allows the audience a brief look at the surface of things.
What kept the movie afloat the pace of the storyline and the fairly good acting performances put on by just about everyone in the movie.
But all in all then "Jailbait" is good enough entertainment and scores a solid 5 out of 10 stars from me.

"Jailbait" is only a mediocre film from 2014. it is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. Anna is a nice girl, a good student, plays the cello and is raped regularly by her old stepfather. Her mother pretends nothing is going on. One day when he again tries to rape her she pushes him away into a window, the pieces sever his carotid and he dies.
Anna ends up in jail. Her cell mate is also nice and just keeps to herself reading books but develops a romantic interest in Anna. Anna attempts to mind her own business and not bother anyone which doesn't go well in jail. But she quickly catches the attention of Kody, the leader of one of the inmate groups. But Kody only has relatively good intentions when it comes to Anna. The leader of the rival group also notices Anna but she is only interested in beating her up.
Reluctantly Anna joins Kody's group as refuge. But they can't help her with the warden who seems fairly nice on the surface but quickly takes advantage of her. Kody introduces Anna to drugs but sticks only to smoking. Anna meanwhile keeps getting herself in trouble, rejects the help of Kody, ends up in solitary confinement repeatedly, and starts injecting hard drugs. Things quickly go downhill for Anna. She becomes addicted, ends up in a longer stint in solitary, tries to commit suicide, ends up in the psych ward, the warden continues to abuse her. To help her though he gives her a cello to practice for the talent show. Anna has a parole hearing coming up and the warden promises to put in a good for her if she continues doing him "favors." When the day arrives, of course, he doesn't keep his word which forces Anna to think of another way out. I was only able to give it 3 stars. Dale Haufrect

I watched this after watching 'Orange is not the only black', which was very enjoyable. This was not. It's not a comedy like 'Orange' largely is – but nor is it a serious film about what life is really like inside a woman's prison. If you're looking for something deep and soul searching then look elsewhere – but if you're looking for cheap thrills then this is, however, probably exactly what you're looking for. It's basically a violent soft core porn movie. The acting is AWFUL – not a single actor was in anyway credible and the fight sequences were some of the worst ever committed to celluloid. In short, if you're looking for an exploitative sex film and are prepared to put up with the most wooden acting you've ever seen then you'll have a blast.
