To all potential buyers looking for a steamy softcore movie with lingerie clad ladies, disguised by a better than average plot and acting, please save your money and look elsewhere. This movie does not deliver on any of the above and Shannon Tweed is left searching for way out of this aimless, plotless, and primarily sexless movie. Even the NC-17 version will let you down. Simply put, it does not deliver in those areas people want when they purchase a movie like this.

Normally, I disliked Shannon Tweed because they are cheap and the plot is normally just about sex. My perspective of her was turned around when I watched Naked Lies and this one. This one relied more on suspense and mystery then sex and nudity.

She stars as a murderous and deceitful woman who marries a wealthy man to get his money. His stepdaughter has suspicions about her. After he dies of a fatal heart attack, she finds out what she is really up to. That is where the suspense and murder come in. Yes, this movie may contain some strong sexuality, but it was not as sexually charged as some of her other ridiculous films.

Once again, this is one of her best. I recommend this to anyone who would like to see a good Shannon Tweed suspense film.

Tweed gives a very sexy performance, despite not being naked very often in the film. Tweed plays a nasty scam artist that preys on wealthy men. The evilness of Tweed is very sexy, as Tweed plays the sexiest villians in the B movie business. The whole movie rides Tweed, and she successfully carries it.

I only got this movie because Shannon Tweed is by far the most sexiest and most seductive actress of all time. She looks great in black suspenders and we see her perform some of the most hot and wild sex scenes ever. Forget the storyline, get this movie for the sex!!!Its all about the Sex!!!and this delivers plenty of wild sex!!!

Shannon Tweed, attractive and talented as always, plays a cold-hearted femme fatale in a fairly good film with plenty of plot twists. The supporting cast are also quite interesting and do a first rate job. Only quibble, several nasty violent scenes which could have been avoided.

I liked this movie. I t has everything except MORE of Mrs tweed. She was up staged by female costar. THe sex scenes were above average. beter then most softporn.anyone who did`nt like should just watch porn !! Better then NC17 the DREAMERS. Kind of ended like WILD THINGS.

Basically, the quality of this DVD is not good and Shannon Tween didn't perform very well in this film. Although other girls show the nudity and sex scene, it does not help too much for this poor movie.

This movie is really about Danielle Ciardi. The only problem is that she is only featured in 4 scenes. The scenes with her in front of the fireplace and later on top of the dead guy are all right to see her profile. The quickie scene on the stove and the banging scene in the hotel are both spontaneous and hot. I only wish there was more of her.

I thought the plot was pretty lame for the most part. Would've been nice to see Shannon Tweed in some steamy love scenes, but it was the same old same old sex scenes with her. I would agree with other reviewer's that Daniel Ciardi stole the spotlight. The "Quickie Sex Scene" on the kitchen stove with her boyfriend and the Hotel Room "Romp" were the highlights for me. Very good sex scenes for an NC-17 movie. Besides that it barely gets an average rating from me.

This is my second review of a Shannon Tweed movie. In my first review I said - No Contest - was her best movie, I still believe that,but power play wasn't that bad even through it is just another version of the black widow genre. I think Shannon to be equally seductive as Theresa Russell, just not as talented,this movie parallels that one, but the supporting characters in this film are what make this movie interesting. Danielle Ciardi (Candice)the daughter of one of Shannons victims and her boyfriend Steve. Who are out to turn the tables on Shannon are the characters that give this film life and sex appeal. I wish there were more shannon moments. But the few glimpse's of her were sufficiently sexy!. A entertaining and sometimes funny movie.I recommend this movie as a must for your Shannon Tweed collection.
