5.0 out of 5 stars Athena baby, you're a hot goddess, December 13, 2004

This review is from: Undercover (DVD)

This comments refer to the VHS, unrated copy, not to this DVD. There is no unrated DVD for this movie, as far as I know.

If I wanted to watch something steamy, I would favor soft-core or erotic movies. Hard-core pornography is so idiotic that one either falls asleep or may risk dying of boredom. Dialogue is reduced to moaning on the part of male actors and the immortal line "oh yeah" on the female side. (Yawn.)

"Undercover" is a real gem of a movie, provided you watch the Unrated version. The sanitized copy is worthless. I will never understand those people who go out of their way to protect me and my immortal soul so I will not end up in Hell for eternity, or some such nonsense. Thanks anyway, but please, let me make up my own mind and decide if I want, should, or could watch one thing or another. And, please shut the door without slamming it on your way out.

"Undercover" portrays Athena Massey as a police woman who visits a bordello, disguised as a prostitute, in order to find a killer. It is a monument to devotion to a worthy cause and that is great, especially because she is very generous showing her beauty. Acting is good, plot is great, cinematography and direction are superb. Director Gregory Hippolyte handles his craft in a flawless way.

If you want to know what was cut off the unrated version, for starters, a three-way scene was completely deleted. I watched the movie twice on the satellite, the first time Unrated and then the version approved for children and toddlers and was appalled. Immediately I ordered the unrated copy on VHS and was happy ever after. So much for the results of censorship by well-intentioned a-holes. Other scenes were trimmed as well and everything was a mess.

This DVD, which I have not watched, is 93 minutes long. The Unrated version is 93 mintes long. So, who is lying to you, the lecherous consumer? You figure. Do not fall for the R-rating, because it will show a censored movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT THE UNRATED VERSION !!!, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Undercover (DVD)

The story and acting is awful, but it worked for what it was intended. Problem is, the DVD is labeled as "unrated" when in fact it is the cut-to-pieces "R-rated" version. It's pretty much like watching one of those edited-for-TV things you see late at night on the USA network. No recall has been issued to my knowledge and its hardly worth the trouble anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goddess Athena shines in soft-core murder mystery!, December 26, 1999

By 

Rick Whitman (Northampton MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Undercover Heat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A welcome surprise! Although this makes no pretensions to be anything more than soft-core porn, there was enough attention to detail and funding to make a movie pleasant to watch, with some semblance of a plot and enough characters and locales to make you pay attention even when there is no flesh on-screen. Athena Massey is a wonder to behold, and when Meg Foster (who is always a delight to see) tells her to strip, the combination of shock and insecurity on her face shows that she actually has some acting ability. There is a charming sequence set to music where Ms. Massey tries on a wide variety of hooker-wear, and in fact the number of outfits that she is shown either getting into or out of throughout the movie is as interesting and varied as the sexual encounters, which encompass straight sex, menage a trois, girl/girl, voyeurism, S&M/B&D et al. The end confrontation with the killer actually has some modicum of suspense. I put this up with "Paris, France" as an example of fine film-making in soft-core which stands up to repeated viewings, and not altogether unsuitable for couples to view.
