If this grindhouse boobs-and-bullets chick-sploitation movie fails, it won’t be for lack of energy. Three luscious babes—a corporate type, a stripper and a drug dealer—arrive at an abandoned desert gas station in search of buried diamonds. There’s a backtracking storyline, some bone-crushing catfights, and some original if overcooked wordplay. You have to admire, at least on some level, a script that refers to babe-on-babe, lipstick lesbian sex as “bashing gash.” I couldn’t detect a single redeeming value any of the four times I watched it, but it’s better than The Expendables. Get very drunk first.
