An enjoyable "adults only" crime opus, 11 June 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Laid-back ex-cop Jimmy (a fine and engaging performance by Eric Edwards) and his worrywart lawyer buddy Mike Green (a solid turn by Richard Bolla) leave New York City and move to Connecticutt to start their own business running a brothel. Things go smoothly for awhile until ruthless mobster Joe Goodson (excellently played to the scuzzy hilt by Jamie Gillis) and his vicious goons decide to muscle in on the action. Director/co-writer Carter Stevens relates the engrossingly sordid story at a steady pace, delivers a pleasing amount of tasty female nudity, and further spices the already entertainingly seamy proceedings up with an amusingly lowbrow sense of humor. The gals are quite hot and attractive: gorgeous blonde knockout Serena does well as sweet and assertive hooker Carol while delicious voluptuous brunette Veri Knotty makes a favorable impression in her regrettably minor part as saucy prostitute Jeanie. Edwards and Bolla make for likable leads. Ron Jeremy has a fleeting cameo as a customer. The sex scenes are pretty raunchy and steamy, but not too graphic. Edwards' hard-boiled narration, the sleazy plot, and the surprisingly nasty and violent conclusion all give this picture a funky 70's noir feel. Prudence Prevails' rough, but still fairly polished cinematography does the trick. The pulsating disco score likewise hits the groovy spot. A nifty little flick.
