I had only recently bought this DVD when I found out that Julie Strain had sadly passed away. This is the sort of film I like and Julie Strain played to her strengths as the chief dominatrix at an underground S &M club which may have been involved in the disappearance of a model a year previously. Monique Parent is Claire Reynolds, a reporter who is on the trail as she falls for tycoon Justin Deville (Justin Carroll) who is the key figure. As is the way of these things, Claire falls for Justin but everyone has dark secrets, so who is really going to fall? There is always a sting in the tail with these films.
The fact of an S & M venue gives some good scope for some naked pain and frequent nudity. I am not really a fan of the obviously over-augmented breasts but to each his own. It is a pity that the Parent/Carroll sex scene was spoiled by the over-zealous use of superimposed imagery and too much close-up. Why do they do this with sex scenes? Remember KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. On the other hand, the Strain/Parent scene was worth a look especially Parent standing naked in the rain. On the whole, this is a fairly run-of-the-mill erotic thriller with S & M thrown in.
