The greatest movie ever made..!
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Brilliant and touching
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View MoreBecause of an argument, "Cassie" (Sarah Allen) is forced to get out of the car that her boyfriend "Jack" (John Cor) is driving and is left alone on the side of the road. After walking a little bit she comes across a man in a pickup truck and asks to use his cellphone. He tells her to quickly get into the truck and hide just as another car with 2 other men comes driving up. When the drug deal he was having goes bad she is left with 3 dead bodies on the side of the road, the pickup truck, $90,000 in cash and a bag of crystal meth worth about another $90,000. Recognizing that this is her big chance she drives off. Unfortunately, there are other people who are also interested in the money who don't necessarily believe she should have it all to herself. Anyway, rather than spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a surprisingly good film. It had drama, humor and a pretty good supporting cast who all performed in a decent manner all around. I especially liked the performance of Linden Ashby who played the part of the bar owner named "Howie Preston". It also has a slightly surprising twist at the end which I thought was also good. In short, this film might not suit everybody's taste but if you like a good drug caper gone wrong then you might enjoy this film.
View MoreThose familiar with my reviews may recall how I have proved previously that, in general, Canadian movies (with the exception of a few Atom Egoyan\Sarah Polley efforts) are one big cancer upon the world film industry. STRIPPED NAKED is no exception to this rule. Dolled up with intentionally folded and color-bleached publicity materials to bamboozle anyone looking for a 1970s-style sexploitation flick, STRIPPED NAKED's no-name cast of community theater reject actors slogs through a nonsensical plot featuring no fewer than FIVE sociopathic killers (only two of which supposedly were produced in similar circumstances). One of these killers interrupts her own on-going philosophical slaughter of sexual perverts to gun down the movie's main character in a personal revenge killing, after starting her homicidal career with a third type of murder: patricide. (If you add up the shown and described killings, the final tally is K-5, C-3, R-3, B-2, and H-1 = 14 total). To add insult to injury, the three featured so-called strippers (played by Sarah Allen, Tommie-Amber Pirie, and Jennilee Murray) NEVER actually strip. Apparently this trio and director Lee Demarbre have never heard of what STRIPTEASE did for Demi Moore's career, how BOOGIE NIGHTS put Heather Graham on the map, or how no one in Hollywood can forget Elizabeth Berkey in SHOWGIRLS. More likely, Canadian women take after Queen Elizabeth I, who historians reveal NEVER took off her underclothes in her adult life, and died with an inch of make-up caked on her face from decades of non-washing!
View MoreSeeing this was better than seeing a bunch of other low budget movies.There was even somewhat of a story that was entertaining.Most of the cast was well cast and while this wasn't the best film made, there was still enough interest to be captivating enough not to be a bore and not to be too cheap on the budget that it had.Filmed in Ottawa, Ontario and made to be in Ohio or around there didn't make any sense, as there was no reason for it to be called anything other than Ottawa, the city was unimportant.I was really looking forward to see the stripper chick get pshyco with a gun, but that doesn't come to be.Some characters were flat, but for a freebie, I didn't complain.
View MoreOkay, not so good reviews yet...Eccept for the terrible, terrible music and sounds, this move totally outclasses the Hollywood movie productions. There is no special effects or over anticipated celebrities contaminating the movie. This makes it a rarity these days. You get into the story right away and the plot goes on, combining some action and drama in a regular small town setting.Drawbacks, the music... like a porno o something...Worth watching, but get a copy with subtitles and turn the volume down...
