Review of Going Under

Going Under (2004)
2/10
"9 ½ Weeks" and "Last Tango In Paris" for the S&M crowd.
6 October 2007
If you enjoy pain or become excited wearing latex garments or are turned on by a dominatrix with a whip, then this film is for you. If you are turned on by S&M and bondage, then you will thoroughly enjoy "Going Under". In fact, you will consider it a breakthrough in mainstream cinema for its kinky sexuality.

Eric Werthman like Peter Greenaway revels in having known male lead actors do full frontal nudity. Unlike Greenaway's dynamic (some would say bombastic) performances; Werthman's actors' performances are flaccid (pun intended) at best. Low key to the point of being comatose is not a good thing.

However, if you find the image of a naked man with a ball in his mouth being spanked on the bottom with a rubber paddle by a women in latex to be silly and boring...simply put, this movie will bore you to death. I personally found it to be as erotic as watching paint dry.

But if you are interested in that sort of thing (and there's nothing wrong with that)...feast...enjoy...have fun! I just thought that it was stupid.
