Wild Things 3: Diamonds in the Rough is the final installment to the Wild Things franchise. This film is an equivalent to rotting meat in the sun it stinks. The film suffers from unoriginality. It tackles the same old recycled plot devices, by going through the motions of tackling the same typical state of affairs. There' the quintessential "Rich-Bitch" & "Trailer-Trash"; there's a rape accusation, (which of course, these chicks are behind on the plan.) Of course, there's a corrupted official of law enforcement caught in the middle of the schemeleading to a threesome with the two young women, until he meets his doom. Of course the misunderstood good girl (either the trailer-trash or the rich bitch) ends up being the mastermind behind the whole scheme. It all takes place in the infamous seedy providence of Blue Bay, Florida.
Sarah Laine plays Marie Clifton, the spoil brat stepdaughter (who for some reason, shares her stepfather's maiden name) of filthy rich construction tycoon Jay Clifton (Brad Johnson). Marie is not satisfied with her stepfather challenging her heritancewhich are two flawless diamonds that are worth 4 million dollars that were left to her by her deceased mother until her 18th birthday.
While Jay is on the verge of bankruptcy and a couple of missing fingers by the mob, the two are caught in a bitter battle for the diamonds, until Jay is accused of rape by one of Marie's fellow classmate name Elena Sandoval (Sandra McCoy), who is the chick from the opposite side of the tracks. So Marie uses this as an opportunity to retrieve the diamonds, by first, convincing Jay that she can sell the diamonds and use the money to help clear his name, therefore, this is when the thread of deceitfulness untangles, and you see the same ironic plot twists.
Everything in this film is so horrible cheap and B-Grade. To the disappointingly brief threesome sex-scenewhich was nothing but shots of groping of the breasts (McCoy's body-double's that is). While Sandra McCoy couldn't emote to save her life, there's nothing sexy or seductive about her whatsoever, and since she's taken a 50% pay-cut for a body-double to do her nude sceneit ruins the effect that the actress has what it takes to bring some sort of sex appeal in front of the camera. If you're going to do sex-scenes where nudity is needed, then what's with these body-doubles? Sara Laine isn't as bad to look at, but she's no Denise Richardswho back in 1998, brought the essence of seduction and sexiness to her rich bitch Kelly Lanier Van Ryan. But you couldn't blame the two lead stars for chasing a quick paycheck. Noticeable Dina Meyer (Saw 1 & 2) as Elena's Parole officer and Mortal Combat's Linden Ashby returning from "Wild Things 2" as Detective Michael Morrison seems to be the only two actors that display some sort decent acting chops, but that doesn't change the fact that they're still B-listers. Wild Things 3: Diamonds in the Rough is a brainless mess of a film. Though I shouldn't have expected too much from this film since it's a straight-to-DVD effort. Though it's neither entertaining nor worth renting. It's just straight up trash. What a waste of time.
