Surrender (I) (2003) User Reviews

wow - amazingly bad

[imdb-9510 · 1/10 · 22 April 2006]

This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. And I saw Gigli.

Aside from a few decent sex scenes, this is a horrendously bad movie. There is an attempt at a plot about halfway through, but it's weak at best. It's only moderately kinky and not even terribly creatively so.

Not enough sex to qualify as even a soft porn, no plot to speak of, bad acting and poor quality overall. I can't imagine anyone but the most inexperienced vanilla newbie with no idea where to get anything else kinky finding this movie the least bit stimulating - and no one could claim it was a good movie, regardless of the kink factor.

Seriously - not worth your time.

What a disappointment...

This movie falls somewhere in between a film and soft core porn, failing to reach either end. The acting is horrible and the characters are atrociously underdeveloped. There seems to be no attempt at any sort of cohesive plot and the movie stumbles through 75 minutes of awkward dialogue and haphazard editing. (I was able to make it 55 minutes before deciding that I really didn't know or care enough about the characters to see what happens to them in the end.) While there is plenty of gratuitous nudity, it seems the writer's only exposure to the BDSM lifestyle is through cheap erotic novels and bad late-night TV. This movie was a complete and total waste of time and money.

Rubbish indie drama

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 25 May 2017]

SURRENDER is a truly dreadful indie drama chock full of terrible acting and writing. The hook seems to be that it's based around S&M, but these scenes are few and far between and have very little to do with the main storyline, if you can describe it as such. Whether it's the over the top direction or the dated music, this is unintentionally hilarious at times but overall it's one big bore.

Leaves you aching for more

I expected this movie to be terrible. Just because whenever a director tries to blend lesbians and sadomasochism something forced and painful seems to always come of it (and not the good kind). This movie, however, actually manages to have realistic chemistry between the characters, and has fun playing with the lead character's dark side. Good acting and good production make it enjoyable to watch, even if it has its' over-the-top moments. Granted it's about a power hungry coke snorting dominatrix (played by director Katherine Brooks) and yet, by the end of the film you want to take her out for a drink. The chemistry between her and her co-star is hot! And just left me wanting more...Considering the genre of the film, it gets a B+ in my book.
