There's one character, Mace, who's an awesome armored-car driver, and who pulls the main character out of all sorts of scrapes. Unfortunately almost all the other female characters are prostitutes and talk only to the men. The sole reason this qualifies is that Mace tells her sister Cecilia "Get in the car. Now." Oh, and there's a nameless female thug who delivers a few tough-guy lines to Mace. On the whole, a bare pass, but in a way it's better to have a powerful female character who drives the plot than two relatively unimportant ones who have a few throwaway lines to each other. Better yet if Mace had had another good female character to talk to...
