This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
View MoreNot quite as bad as it's made out to be. You can't expect too much for a direct-to-video production anyway. It did have the egregious Daniel Baldwin (one of the less talented Baldwin brothers, and that's saying a lot!) acting to best of his (extremely limited) ability. Angie Everhart shows her chops (among other things) by credibly pretending to be attracted to Baldwin. Catalina Larranaga also shows that she can seriously act, and deserves a shot at some roles where she doesn't have to get naked. Don't get me wrong, I liked seeing her. A lot. But she is pretty enough, and talented enough to do better things. Good luck to her. Lauren Reina also shows some real talent. She doesn't seem to have much of a credit list, so who knows if she's still in the business? But both of these young women put in as good of a performance as the material allowed. The plot had some big holes, of course. But I've seen worse. Some of the supporting actors weren't very convincing, such as Willie Gault and Joe Costanza. The direction was reasonable. Overall, I couldn't really recommend this one unless you want to see it for the under-appreciated young actresses, or for the nudity.By the way, I saw on a different website some talk of a Swedish version/edit of this film film with considerably more of the sex scenes. I understand about editing for TV, or theatrical releases, (apparently not an obstacle for this film) but why edit these films down for cable TV, or especially DVD release? I'd really like to see all of a movie, whether it involves sex or not.
View MoreSpoilers herein.Naturally, you already know this is worthless.The story is a simple shuffle of the `implicating tape' hassle -- its amazing how often this happens (this time with the killer's name scrawled in blood). There's other self-reference: Angie as a former `actress' that couldn't hack it. A fat slob that's her `producer' who is just like Baldwin only moreso. Her character's aversion to making sex films, precisely the opposite of the actor's.I've slogged through a few of Angie's projects, and its interesting to see her work. Her job has nothing to do with the character, but to make herself look appealing. Any actress knows that film beauty is a manufactured product. Most work with a single facial feature and build a whole person around it. Angie acts with her hair. See how she arranges to have it lit according to the Hepburn formula. She has very little to work with actually.There's a very minor role here by someone named Nellie Sciutto. She's a secretary and she actually tries to act. Makes everyone else look bad.Ted's Evaluation: 1 of 4 -- You can probably find something better to do with this part of your life.
View MoreI hadn't rented a movie in a while and it was raining. So...I hop next door to the Video Rental place and write down the names of all the movies I think I might like. Then I run them through this data base.Gee...almost all of them received good reviews.Now...most of my all time favourite movies are outside The Hollywood Hype Machine....Tombstone, Heat (with Burt Reynolds), Something Wild, Searching for Bobby Fisher, The Wanderers.....so I'm always looking for something a little different.Hmm...two good reviews for Bare Witness. Really? Oh hell...why not?I quickly discovered many why nots. What was the lousiest part of the movie? Script, acting, soft core porn scenes? All of the above.Whoever reviewed this movie before me must have had something to do with writing the script.
View MoreThis movie is another example of a hot thriller that keeps you guessing to the end. Some hot scenes from all the actresses a wild and crazy ride watching this movie. But I do not advise this for the entire family(young children) because of the adult nature of the movie.
