Sadly Over-hyped

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Absolutely the worst movie.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Let me clue all of you imbeciles into the truth.... BO DEREK IS NOT A GODDESS. She has a high forehead, pointy ears, wispy hair, thin lips, and a elongated torso. The only good thing about Bo is her perky boobs which nowadays sag like two grocery store plastic bags filled with dirt.Now for this goofy movie...... it sucks. All this blowhard talk about deceit, greed, and all the rest of that typical garbage. Bo shows up now and then, but she's been better in the past, or at least better-photographed with her glazed eyes and all.Robert Mitchum plays a lawyer, though he sounds like a drunk and looks like a corpse.My rating..... 0, that's ZERO stars.

Twin brothers Jonathan and Ted Ashby (Steven Bauer) with Christina Ford (Bo Derek) are in a complicated relationship. They hired Jack Lynch (Jeff Fahey) to be the yacht captain. Jack is accused of killing Ashby and raping Ford by the police. He insists that Ashby fell overboard in a storm and he didn't rape her. He hires semi-retired defense lawyer Walter J. Hill (Robert Mitchum).My cheese-dar goes up when Bo Derek gets naked with twins and a couple of familiar B-movie names. Then Robert Mitchum shows up and one has to give this movie a fair shake. This is a hard-boiled erotic thriller but it moves at a snail's pace. Mitchum is older and slower but there is still a power to his acting. It's too bad that he is wasted on this weaker B-movie material.

This was a pretty sad piece of work. All it is is another vehicle for Bb Drek to show off her tremendous body (and face). The acting is terrible in here and the story is muddled. Frankly, it's not much more than a soft-porn flick.What's disappointing is an actor of Robert Mitchum's status to stoop to this level. Yeah, and he acted poorly, too. If I didn't know it was him, I would have thought it was some amateur thespian. He, and the guy who played the police chief, sounded like they were just reading their lines. Jeff Fahey is the only actor who sounds like he knows (or cares) what he's doing.Derek is nice to ogle in her steamy scenes but this is a horrible movie.

Decent production values, decent direction, decent acting. This seems to be a real movie, and not just a soft-core offering. A lot of twists at the end, some I saw coming, and some I didn't. Bo was as beautiful as ever. Grade: C
