disappointed

This is a low budget soft-core with a gangster-chase motif.

The gangsters aren't menacing enough to be interesting (try the recent _Payback_ with Mel Gibson for that), and they aren't silly enough to make it an entertaining comedy.

Kim Dawson is way past her prime here. But Regina Russell is cute and sexy and I hope we see a lot more of her in the future. Lori-Dawn Messuri is nice to look at, too, and does a great job with a dull script.

There's no passion in the sex scenes; it's as if everyone (except Messuri, who deserves a better story) is just going through the motions because that's the kind of movie they're in. Leland Price could take a lesson from Cybil Richards (_Femalien_ etc); sex is more fun if the partners *like* each other, even in a soft-core.

Stephen Francis plays the hapless hero. The plot says he's got an active fantasy life (an excuse to insert a couple of amusing fantasy sequences), despite the fact he happens to get laid all the time for no particular reason.

Why does this character, in every soft-core ever made, *always* have a three day stubble? Is there something sexy about that and I'm just missing it? Somebody please buy that guy a razor, or let him grow a real beard.

Steamy effort.

Warning: Spoilers
I don't understand the comments from the other two fellow IMDb reviewers. I found this movie to be very complete on the steam and kinky factors. I mean, there are PLENTY of sex scenes that are explicit and feature hot women.

Regina Russell and Kerri Marrone are the highlights in my opinion. Mrs. Marrone's sexual encounter that deals with her dancing and delivering some sort of sexy lap dance is a great scene. The scene makes you think it happened during the effects of a drug or something. Mrs. Marrone wears a skimpy skirt before getting undressed and making love slowly in bed with a guy.

Regina Russell's performance is also great. I enjoyed big time when she wore that nurse outfit and had sex from behind in suggestive manner.

Special mention for Loridawn Messuri. She's one of the hottest redheads in softcore porn. She delivers a fine performance and has some good sex sequences.

Kim Dawson is just fine. Nothing impressive.

I dug the direction and some art direction. Truth, the plot is stupid but come on, we didn't watch it for the plot...

The amount of sex is decent, the women are hot, the production values are just OK.

Give it a try only if it airs on cable. Otherwise, skip it.

Dull movie about a male sub
kargman12 September 2002
The "active fantasy life" the male protagonist has is that of being sexually submissive to women. The gangster plot is dull and contrived, as are the slo-mo vanilla sex scenes. If you're into femdom/malesub, you might like this film, but even then the male bondage scenes are lame. Loridawn Messuri is a treat, but not enough of one to redeem this boring sex film.
