Jerod S JJL definitely shouldn't have actually sang in this film. It's kinda everything that wasn't good about the 80s: unnecessary skin, cheesy confrontation and really bad fashion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review SpontaneousWeasel The great cast and soundtrack can't disguise the awful screenplay, limited production quality and cinematography. It's a dry drama without any particularly original dramatic hook. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review don s This a a low-budget drama about American female aspiring entertainers being recruited by a Japanese company to sing and dance in their clubs in Tokyo. What isn't parlayed to the innocent young ladies is that they are also expected to entertain the all Japanese customers in the sack after their performance is finished. When the young ladies buck and begin to cause trouble. they get a ticket to another club in Osaka from which none of them seem to return. Love me some Jennifer Jason Leigh, but this is a terrible movie and she plays a singer; she;s a decent actress, but she's no singer. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes, it's a TV movie with Leigh being an innocent young woman who is naive enough to go to Japan thinking these shifty guys really wanted her just to sing, but it's good. Stuff like this still happens, although not exactly in this corny fashion, so it was interesting to watch. She's a good actress, and you feel for her character after she realizes what she's gotten herself into. There is some good action in the sorta plot twist that I wont reveal, and I liked how it ended. I enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
