Stolen Hearts (1998 Video)

Superpowerful psychic waitress and private detective against seductive stealer

[6/10 · 10 June 2023]

As a sexploitation B-movie, you may expect a narrow plot with every excuse to add one more sex scene. A seductive womanizer drugs and steals women, who get so attracted by him that bizarrely do not want to involve the police. Anyway, one of them, owner of a bar, hired a private investigator. He had the voluntary support of a waitress (employee of hers) who has psychic superpowers and may see what previously happened. As a matter of fact, her powers are never explained: it is just like soome people have six or three fingers instead of five, or eyes with different colors, and she has this idiosyncratic trait. Then, we follow everybody having sex, the criminal seducing, druging and stealing his victims, aiming to flee to Rio de Janeiro, and the dynamic duo tracking clues with their respective skills. Some characters appear in a way that suggests that their subplots will have eventual consequences, but they will never appear again. While the sex scenes show little, due excessively clipped edition, the action scenes are awful, due incompetent coreography. The flick is mildly amusing, anyway.
