Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A genre-defying erotic thirller
Review: Most b-movies wouldn't have the courage to rip off David Mamet, but apparently writers Turi Meyer and Al Septien had a hankering to do so. The plot of this film is loosely lifted off The Spanish Prisoner among others and one concept is in its entirety comes from Mamet's film (think "extradition treaty"). Of course this film isn't entirely without originality for it is an EROTIC THRILLER Spanish Prisoner. The problem with this falling into the erotic thriller category though is that it is neither erotic nor thrilling. The plot is predictable and the dialogue leaves little room for acting to make up for the writing. Whether or not Angie Everhart is a solid enough actress to make up for an inferior script is left up to guesswork as improvement on this script is like multiplying by zero.
Basically the plot revolves around a murder-mystery/love triangle. Each and every concept here has been tried before. Is Angie Everhart a calculating woman bent of destroying her husband and seducing his stepson? Is Andrew Walker a cold spiteful son looking to speed up his inheritance? Will husband/father Winston Reckert kill both of them? Is the maid with the constantly changing accent in on it? Does any of this matter? In the end if you have seen Wild Things, Black Widow and pick a Cinemax film of your choosing (along with the aforementioned Spanish Prisoner), you've already seen this film. Of course, those films didn't have Angie Everhart. She is gorgeous and passes with a competent grade as an actress. David Walker as Holden Pryce (the son) shows little promise as an actor. Winston Reckert as the dad is ok, but little better than that. The entire film feels contrived but for one brief moment. There is a instance of genuine emotion while Everhart and Walker are at a bar. They are drinking and giggling like drunken folks are likely to do. When someone barges in on them the reverie is broken. It isn't ever repaired.
Of course though, many people will get this merely for the sub-title of it: Angie Everhart Naked. They won't be disappointed but they won't be awed either. She's not yet Shannon Tweed nor does the film come off as a guilty pleasure like Scorned did. This isn't the worst film to be released on Dvd this year and is better than a lot of cinema fare (Matrix: Revolutions would be a good example). That said, if people don't rush out and get this they wouldn't be missing much.
