A Rock and a Hard Place
allmoviesfan20 November 2022
There is a diamond, a heist, a pacific island that looks like Hawaii but appears to be the domain of an organised crime boss who has control of the police force as well. Enter Tom, a drifter and sailor who gets hired by the bad guy to drive his wife around, and of course ends up doing more than just driving her around, if you get my drift? There is some intrigue around the diamond and it's whereabouts, with plenty of scheming. But more sex than scheming, some pretty good softcore scenes including a couple on the beach and one in a spa (I mean, this was released in 1999, so the filmmakers had plenty of time to learn the best parts of the 90's softcore wave and give the audience what they want) all of them to music, as is the trend. Some very good looking women. That's why we watch, right?

Cute and unusual

Warning: Spoilers
If you would like to see a few actresses that you will not see anywhere else, then you must see this movie. If instead good acting is important then you probably would prefer to avoid this one.

If you are looking for an "adult" type movie then the story is relatively good but otherwise is average or less. The women are pretty but for the guys looking for skin there is not much of it.

To understand the movie it is important to pay attention to the first few minutes. The movie begins with a burglary and what happens to the huge diamond is important to the story from beginning to end. Something else that is significant that is easy to miss is the woman in the car that witnesses the capture and related events.

The movie is cute and at least it moves fast to be interesting, but it might move a bit too fast because the relevance of some portions are unclear.

Taking all that into consideration, the movie can be interesting enough to be entertaining.
