“It is sometimes said, in the art world, that less is more – reducing a work to its minimum encourages appreciation of what is there. However, the opposite can also be true and this movie surely proves the point. This movie is described as an erotic thriller but the abundance of nudity and sex scenes is to the detriment of the already lack-lustre plot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA man returns to his home town because his younger brother is deeply in debt to a rather shady political figure. In order to rescue the situation, our hero must engage in a card game to win the money from a group of other players. This scenario could have put some flesh on the other players and led to a tense card game. Instead we learn nothing about them, who they are or how they came to be involved. Most of the plot time, of which there is little, is spent setting up the game. Quite why this politician thinks that a card game is a sure way of getting his hands on lots of money is never explained.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt various points within the movie we get to see different people in various soft core sex scenes. The sex cannot be described as erotic. There are seven scenes in all and they go on for far too long. They can best be described as hardcore without the hard. I fail to understand how anyone can find watching the back of a womanu0026#39;s head bobbing up and down in a manu0026#39;s lap for a couple of minutes any way exciting. Sometimes when watching erotic movies, the viewer will fast-forward through the plot to get to the sex scenes. I found myself fast-forwarding through the sex scenes to get to the plot!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have given this movie only one star. If you want erotic thrillers then I suggest titles such as Secret Games, Animal Insincts and other titles from that era. If you want thrillers then there are thousands to choose from. If you want sex scenes then get hardcore.”
