i saw the rating and wondered why it was so low; but that won't keep me away from a denise davies movie. still, i must concur. there's some five-star talent and photography here, but for starters, knock it down one star for the low ratio of hardcore to total time, a perennial big top blunder. take another off for "special's" scene (she seems about to fall asleep, and us along with her) and for lori pleasure's ridiculously long fake fingernails and the hardware in her pierced privates that makes you think of sex with a meat grinder. to be merciful, i'll only take one more off for somebody's horrible idea to throw in slow-motion to spoil some of the best shots, and to accompany it with a really annoying sound track that sounds like the voices are gargling with an electronic twang. producer sam xavier and director steve drake probably pointed the finger at each other for that, once the ratings started coming in ('fess up, guys, whose not-so-bright idea crashed and burned, here?) fortunately, the sequel is much better. stay tuned for the review of number three ....
