Time Out Rated: 2/5 Apr 29, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2005 Full Review Greg Maki Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) Rated: 1/5 Jan 24, 2005 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Apollo Guide No matter the begging and pleading, Mercy should be taken out back and buried. Better yet, blow it up first and then bury it. Rated: 40/100 Mar 16, 2004 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com I'd be lying if I said I were bored by this film. But it's not exactly the most exciting. Rated: 2/4 Jan 13, 2004 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E This is a solid 4 movie, probably maligned because it deals with lesbians. The amount of sex depicted is appropriate to promote the story. In this day and age no one is watching a 90 minute feature for the 5 or 10 minutes of nudity. There are free websites that cater to those needs. Editing and color photography is very good. Acting is convincing. Ellen Barkin is a serious actress that would not participate in a soft porn movie. Right around the middle the story is getting a little convoluted, but overall this is solid entertainment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Good acting, good story and sexy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie contains a lot of sex just for the sake of sex, and that's not of interest to me at all, so I couldn't entirely enjoy it. But besides that, there is a pretty decent mystery, although it's a bit too slow-moving to be really fantastic. This isn't a bad movie, just not one you should watch in mixed company. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one for the kiddies. Definitely "R" rated. I liked it because I could not figure it out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An erotic murder mystery movie that leads the investigators into an underground women's sex club. Wilson plays a seductive member of the club and with Barkin do well at upping the suspense. Entertaining, not diabolical by any means. A good film to see. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an odd movie... but I would recommend it if you are too squeamish about lesbians and cross dressers!
