Description:

Troma's release of Akdov Telmig's 1997 Tight Spot! explores the natural and obvious intersection of the private investigator thriller and soft-core pornography genres. Unfortunately, although the acting (both thriller and soft-core) is passable, it does not hit the peaks of either genre. The movie starts with a ski-slope murder, leads into the secret life of a corrupt, eccentric millionaire, and ends with the private dick getting the girl. All along the way there are graphic simulated sex scenes and a couple of mildly graphic murders. Neither the murders nor the sex scenes bring about any clear climax. The real stars of this film are the locations the characters travel to as the convoluted plot unfolds. The gritty streets of North Beach in San Francisco, the beaches of Mazatlan, and the seamy L.A. suburbs of the San Fernando Valley, shot on location, are visually stunning. Fans of Telmig's similarly themed and -clad Vegas High Stakes will likely also find this movie entertaining. The disc includes the standard Troma promotional fare of trailers, short sketches, music videos, and a Lloyd Kaufman intro. --Brian Saltzman
