    This movie is very dark, it shows the ulgy side of prostitution, its no "pretty woman" movie, but it does have a story. These two girls work for this sleasy pimp who has boys and girl prostitutes. The younger one falls for the older girl, who is only one year older, but she is still very much about saving herself. They both don't know how to show love or recieve it. The ending is sad yet kind of expected. Its a disturbing, thought provoking movie.

    This is a very realisitc view on prostitutes and how older people prey on them. Was a great movie that actually makes you take a real look at what is going on in todays world.
