4.0 out of 5 stars Very Unsual and Daring, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Crimes (Unrated Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Make sure you get the unrated version - and not because it's racier (though it is), but because it has major scenes and interactions that finally make the whole film make sense. This version was not released theatrically, and it's a good example of a Director's Cut that really does make a difference. Though Sean Young might not be the best actress for the role, the film itself is a challanging look at the more dark and shaded areas of sex and power games. Steely direction by director Lizzie Bordon. Well worth the watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Positive message, yet it contradicts itself., January 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Crimes (Unrated Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here we get to see Sean Young, as usual, with Patrick Bergin, give a bad performance. In this film Young plays a Georgia DA who tries to track sex maniac Bergin. The film promotes a good message, and what it's trying to say is that women are not mindless sex objects to be manipulated by men. However, this message got lost in the final edit of the film. Instead, it comes off as looking like a back alley soft-core flick, with endless scenes of female nudity and S&M poses, and spankings. Trust me, save your money and don't waste your time with this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sean Young at her -- and everyone else's -- worst, March 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Crimes (Unrated Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sean Young in this movie gives the worst performance by a big (at the time) star in a Hollywood movie. I can't think of a single exception. She looked positively drugged in this thing, and yet there's no rationale for it, so it has to be the acting. See it if only for this historic low.
