Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Knotslanding1993 Bad movie thanks to writers and directors for wasting Joan's hotness!I hate this movie!!! They had Joan Van Ark player a hooker and wasted a golden opportunity! She had really no sex scenes, undressing or wearing sexy revealing clothing!! The writers and directors need to be tarred and feathered!! Joan would have been more than up to the challenge of doing sexy scenes and showing off the worlds hottest body!!! Arrest all production people from the movie! They had Joan in a Red curly wig, it was UGLY! These people need their heads knocked together! Why not show her beautiful, gorgeous, blonde locks, which would be perfect for a sexy hooker anyway! Joan and Perry King should have had sex scenes!! Stupid!! Joan as a hooker without dodo bird writers, producers, stylists and directors would have been the hottest, sexiest thing in the world and they are dumb butts! Joan, like I said would have been more than happy to show more skin and grace our eyes with her hot body! Perry King had too many scenes and Joan didn't have enough.
