Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Jailbait is not a good movie but it is entertaining. It is an illogical poorly written mess but it was interesting to see Anna's decline and redemption. What this movie did right was prison life some of it was unrealistic but some of the concepts they showed in this film were spot on another bonus is the sex scenes with Sara Malakul Lane lol what more can you want. I could spend hours talking about how bad this movie was but it was a guilty pleasure with a satisfying ending. So if your're bored and have time to kill then I would suggest Jailbait which is free on hulu and Netflix plus even with it's multiple problems I'm sure you'll find some entertainment in this like I did.

"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

A teenage cello player called Anna fights off the sexual advances of her drunken step father and accidentally kills him . She is found guilty of manslaughter and is sentenced to several years in a maximum security juvenile detention centre "Hold on Theo surely that's self defence and if it was self defence she wouldn't be guilty of anything ?" Yes but that would be realistic and would mean there wouldn't be a film and after seeing JAILBAIT that wouldn't have been much of a loss either!!!!! SUGGESTIVE SPOILER !!!!!! You can imagine the producer getting the screenwriter in to the office at first draft stage and shouting at him "What's going on here ? You've written five pages and so far there hasn't been a lesbian sex session .I don't want to read a screenplay that goes five pages without lesbian sex . Got it ?" And so we do get it . American maximum security juvenile detention centres for young women are hotbeds of lesbian sex . Now to be fair myself and 3.5 billion men would if they're honest admit to liking lesbian sex but not to the point where a film merely exists to indulge male fantasy . We know where to find it on the internet and our primary reason for watching a film in the off chance a couple of hot chicks showing their affection for one another in the most physical way possible isn't really why most of us watch films . Especially if it's presented in such a crass , cynical and banal way as presented here where Anna arrives I prison and within hours her cellmate is masturbating to her while she sleeps . The story and scenario is every bit as fake and plastic as Anna's silicone boobs . There's no character development and no credibility to any of this and the only remit the production team have is to include as much nudity and lesbian sex as possible regardless of how much sense it makes and how it fits in to the confused narrative You can work out the ending as soon as someone mentions they've got an I-phone and this will come back to haunt the prison warder who apart from looking like a cross between an aging Tom Berenger and Dubya Bush is also an obscene sexual predator who also uses Anna as his sex toy . Suddenly lesbian sex - even to the most innocent hetrosexual girl - might have its appeal after all

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.
