No One To Root For
Theo Robertson1 July 2003
Warning: Spoilers
!!!!! POSSIBLE SPOILER !!!!!

The problem I had with this movie is summed up in the scene where slimey cop Jake tries to blackmail Mary into having sex with him and she pulls out Jake`s gun and threatens him . Make no mistake Jake is a complete scumbag ( And if it were a mainstream movie Kevin Bacon would be the natural choice for the part ) but Mary had been drink driving , so you see there`s no innocent victim here . If Mary hadn`t volunteered to endanger both herself and others by getting behind the wheel of a car while drunk justice wouldn`t have been served on Jake which strikes as a completely confused and amoral way to serve justice to a villain , there`s no one to root for which is a rather ironic thing to say about a soft core porn film

A woman leaves the glitz and hedonist lifestyle of CA and returns home to settle her father's estate

The film has some erotic interludes as Jane encounters her past friends and lover (maybe lovers?). My wife saw this film on a business trip. The film is woman-plot oriented and the lead character is self-driven. She is not some wilting bimbo waiting to react to outside stimuli. Watch for the unexpected tub scene. Very steamy.
