4.0 out of 5 stars Action-packed eroticy with an off the wall twist., February 9, 1999

This review is from: Laws of Deception [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Laws of Deception", starring Amber Smith and Brian Austin Green is a search for the killers of one lawyers parents when he was only six years old. The plot thickens when Amber Smith, an aspiring lawyer/stripper, enters into the main charcters life. As his quest continues, the clues point to one woman, the woman that he loves. This straight-to-video release was a pleasant addition to my movie repertoire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah! Amber Smith..., May 27, 2003

This review is from: Laws of Deception [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, the only reason I rented this movie (in its unrated version)was to see if Amber Smith would display the goods. She does, to great effect, but I found Laws of Deception to be a fair thriller in the noir genre. The film succeeds mostly due to the presence of former teen movie actor C. Thomas Howell.
Howell's character is the sole survivor of a mob slaying - his mom and dad were killed. He grows up with a thirst for justice and ends up in law school in Miami. His buddy is 90210 alumnus Brian Austin Green. Howell is intent on studying but is ribbed by Green for not being enough of a player. Then Howell is seduced by fellow student Amber Smith. They fall in love.
A chance visit by Howell and Green to a strip joint reveals that Amber is stripping to pay her way through college - or so she says. It turns out the strip joint is owned by the same assassin who murdered Howell's parents 20 years earlier. Does Howell remember his face? Anyway, his relationship with Amber is ruined by his discovery of her seedy side.
Fast forward another four years - Howell is now a successful partner in a Miami law firm. He reluctantly takes his old flame Amber as a client; she's up for the murder of her hubbie - the old assassin. They naturally fall into bed again. But another twist is that Amber is being stalked by Howell's old college buddy Green.
Lies are multiplied, cars are totalled and no-one looks innocent. It all plays into a satisfying finale.
Amber's film career hit a high note with this movie. She showed she actually had acting chops, given a decent script. Unfortunately, her career went downhill after this, with her appearing in dreadful movies only for the sake of her breasts.
