Plot Summary

Four prostitutes in the Old West, falsely accused of murder, go on the run from the law. They band together to clear their names and seek justice against the corrupt sheriff who wronged them. Along their perilous journey, they face challenges that test their loyalty and courage as they fight for survival and freedom.

Critical Reception

Bad Girls received generally negative reviews from critics, who often cited its predictable plot and uneven tone. While the performances of the lead actresses were sometimes noted, the film was largely criticized for failing to live up to its potential as a feminist Western. Audience reception was similarly lukewarm, leading to disappointing box office performance.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film suffers from a weak, predictable script and a jarring mix of melodrama and action.
  • Despite a capable cast, the characters lack depth and the plot feels underdeveloped.
  • It attempts to be a female-led Western but ultimately falls short of its ambitious goals.

Google audience: Google users found the film to be an entertaining, albeit flawed, Western with strong female leads. Many appreciated the attempt at a story centered on women, though some felt the plot was too simplistic and the execution could have been better.

Fun Fact

The film was originally intended to be directed by a woman, and several prominent female directors were considered before Jonathan Kaplan took over.
