Editorial Reviews

Some lines shouldn't be crossed. When telephone lineman Bruce Johnson accidentally overhears a conversation in which a young woman hires a hitman to kill her sister, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Surprised to discover the sisters live together, he must deduce who's trying to kill whom. But nothing is how it seems and Johnson soon discovers that sex and sibling rivalry make very dangerous bedfellows.

1.0 out of 5 stars PHONEY BALONEY, October 7, 2004

This review is from: Over the Wire (DVD)

Take the five lengthy full frontal sex love scenes out and you'd have about twenty minutes left of this foolishly inept "thriller". David Christensen stars as Bruce, a telephone lineman (ex-cop) who overhears a woman talking to hit man. His job: for 30,000 dollars, kill her sister. Christensen goes to his cop buddy, played with strong silence by Keith Lewis (one of the better "actors" in this film) and tells him he's going to check it out. So Christensen goes off to the address and approaches beautiful Rachel (ineptly played by Shauna O'Brien), and then in steps sister Susan (likewise a boring performance by the equally lovely Landon Hall). Christensen then tries to decide which sister is planning on killing the other. T&A favorite Griffin Drew fills out the cast as Lewis' horny wife. B movie action hero Tim Abell stars as the lusty boyfriend of both sisters. In order to find out the bad sister, Christensen beds them both. All the main actors get their own sex scenes, most of which consist of oral sex and sodomy, and a couple where the actors slap each other to demonstrate the kinkiness of the sex.
Not a prude by any means, I found these sex scenes laughable and completely unnecessary to advance the so called plot. By the time the movie comes to its crashing crescendo, one can only hope they all get killed.
A real waste of film.

3.0 out of 5 stars are you kidding?, March 25, 2008

The movie aside, which I caught one nite on Skin-emax and it's okay (a nice kinky bondage scene halfway thru was pretty cool, erotic, & raunchy), someone is asking $216.00 for a copy of this movie?????? How can that possibly be...well, possible?????

Someone should be ashamed. The movie isn't THAT good or rare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not to shabby, October 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Over the Wire (DVD)

This movie has an easy plot to follow, and does keep it interesting thru out it all. There are some tasteful sex scenes, and is worth it.

The plot: Telephone repair man overhears a woman talking about killing her sister, knows wich house, goes there and finds that there are two sisters living there and doesn't know wich one is trying to kill who. Trys to figure it out. Blah blah blah blah.
