No matter the begging and pleading, Mercy should be taken out back and buried. Better yet, blow it up first and then bury it. Go to Full Review

Jelisije J Sep 16 You ever watch a film where you feel like the side characters are more interesting than the main characters.........well if you haven't then this film will do that for you. See more Alain E @AlainE 12/12/2024 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. See more 07/11/2017 Good acting, good story and sexy See more 02/13/2012 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. See more 02/17/2011 Not one for the kiddies. Definitely "R" rated. I liked it because I could not figure it out. See more 10/03/2010 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. See more Read all reviews
