TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

SnoopyStyle Amanda Grace (Kate Vernon) is a radio sex therapist with an active sex life of one night stands. She meets Mick Burroughs (Lou Diamond Phillips) at a book signing and brings him to a party. He's a controlling man of perversity with a criminal past. He videotapes her having kinky sex with a female prostitute and he blackmails her.This is strictly a bad erotic thriller. The problem is that I don't buy Lou Diamond Phillips. I can see him as a weak criminal which leaves me with the question of whether she would fall for him in the first place. I don't see it happening which makes it hard for me to buy this movie from the start. I don't see the chemistry or the attraction. I've never seen LDP as a great actor. He's always been an interesting actor of limited range. There are some sections of good tension like when she tries and fails to buy back the tape. However the movie is never able to maintain it.

bkoganbing Written, produced and directed by its star Lou Diamond Phillips, Dangerous Touch is an interesting debut for Mr. Phillips behind the camera. Certain parts of this film he did better than others, however.Lou is a sexy career criminal who's trained his sites on lovely and voluptuous Kate Vernon who is a psychologist with a talk in radio show and a best seller. Kate's treating Max Gail a syndicate kingpin who is having issues. Kate's a woman who loves sex with the joy of a Clinton era Mae West. She thinks she's found the man of her dreams when the mysterious Lou accosts and seduces her at a book signing. But he's all the time setting her up for blackmail, he wants her help to kill Max Gail by pressing on his neuroses so that he'll do it himself or his syndicate partners will out of fear that Gail will talk. Lou's at his best directing what falls this side of a soft core porn film. The sight of a nude Kate Vernon is certainly enough to stir the young men in the audience.Unfortunately the premise that she will be hurt by the exposure of her private sex life just doesn't ring true. Vernon's character is not Laura Schlessinger or someone who might work for Dr. James Dobson, someone who'd really be hurt by such a scandal. She comes across as a woman with a real healthy appetite for the erotic and exotic. Knowing that what happens in the end just doesn't make any sense.Still Lou Diamond Phillips as director and star has nothing to be ashamed of. But he should have asked me about the script.

tfrizzell A radio sex therapist (Kate Vernon) falls for a mysterious man (Lou Diamond Phillips) who is actually an ex-con and soon she gets caught in a crazed web of lies, deceit and sexual blackmail. Underworld figures and hired thugs aplenty in this silly would-be thriller that shows a little more skin and a little more stupidity than most others of the sorry genre. Phillips' attempt at directing a theatrical feature falls flat due to late-night cable ideas and a cast that seems dazed by the entire venture. Vernon is made out to be smart and sophisticated, but she falls under Phillips' spell almost immediately. Thankfully, most viewers with any taste will not fall under any incantation this movie throws at them. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).

DunnDeeDaGreat Sure Dangerous Touch is a cheap rountine erotic thriller but it still enaterains. Lou Diamond Phillps makes a good directioal debut and by my count there are six steamy sex scenes three of which show the sexy Kate Vernon nude. The scene between Monique Parent &Veron is worth the rental alone.
