Reviews
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
WiseRatFlames An unexpected masterpiece
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
kosmasp The real diamonds lie within the movie "Wild Things" ... that is/was the first part (they actually went and did a fourth one). The others just retell the same story, with some tweaks here and there (though the second felt, like a complete copy of the formula). And while this might steer a bit away from that, it's still as weak/"good", as the second movie. Though it feels weird calling those movies sequels. They are just cash-ins, made for the quick buck.Stay with the original, to get the story with the acting and the story as it should be told. Of course, if you think you have to watch some nice ladies wearing next to nothing (sometimes only the latter), than you can give this a try. But other than that (acting, story, production values), there is nothing much to see here
TdSmth5 Like the previous Wild Things movies, this one too starts with a meeting in the Blue Bay school auditorium for a speech on sex crimes by a cop and probation officer (Dina Meyer) who has personal experience with rape. In the auditorium we meet the bad rich girl Marie and the innocent Elena with a troubled past who is on probation herself, poverty-stricken and lives in a trailer. The two girls of course don't exactly get along. Marie stands to inherit 2 giant diamonds from her deceased mother. However she cannot obtain them until she turns 18. Stepdad Jay, in turn is in deep financial troubles and is not inclined to let the girl get the diamonds. Jay also has an interest in pretty young things and invites Elena over to the party he organizes for Marie. The issue is who will end up with the diamonds and what intrigues they will devise to get them. This movie, like its prequels has a steamy three-way which is shot too dark and with the use of body doubles. There are two additional girl-girl scenes which are much more erotic but far shorter. Overall, this movie is more enjoyable than part II. It is not as slow and the cast is quite attractive. The story, too, is interesting and has its surprising twists and turns. I only wish there had been more nudity. This series has a lot of potential I think, considering the stuff that is released in theaters these days and I wouldn't mind additional entries.
kaiisgod I think WT3 is a pretty decent movie, much better than the second, but don't expect a clever movie because you'll be disappointed. The plot doesn't differ too much from the first movie, a man accused of raping a young girl plus the difficult relationship with his step-daughter (Sarah Laine) with the diamonds in the middle. The low-class girl is interpreted by Sandra McCoy as Neve Campbell did that role in the first. Both girls are very good-looking, especially Laine. There's treason, blackmail and a well-thought scheme (at least in the minds of the characters). The revealing ending shows with flashbacks during the credits the key points of the plot, a surprising finale that is hard to anticipate. So, if you like WT1 you definitely will enjoy this one. I give WT3 Diamonds in the Rough 6/10.
Troy **contains a few spoilers** WT3 has its good points and its bad points. One of the main good points, at least for me, is the character of Dr. Johnson, the handsome, clever forensic geek who plays an instrumental part in the twist of the plot. I'm a forensic buff myself and thought the addition of a forensic scientist was somewhat beneficial to the story. I also liked the return of Linden Ashby, who reprises his WT2 role of Detective Morrison, the cop who's always a step or two behind the deceiving main characters. The only truly bad point was the generic plot line. Money is involved and some of the main characters concoct a scheme to claim it for themselves by staging or committing crimes. But, other than that, the movie's quite watchable.
