This 2010 film is from Mainline Releasing/MRG Entertainment, it’s directed by Austin Brooks and written by…nobody.

Yeah, there’s no writer listed in the credits, which is usually a red flag when it comes to softcore films. After watching it, I can believe that there was no actual writer, that maybe someone just came up with a bare story idea, and Austin Brooks and the cast just improvised a bunch of scenes until they had enough, about an hour and twenty-one minutes worth, to call it a film.

The plot on the film’s IMDB page says: A detective goes searching for a woman who has been killing men after having sex with them, only to bond with the woman and decides to protect her.

That sounds like a decent enough plot for an erotic thriller, doesn’t it? Too bad that’s not what this film is actually about.

Sean Juergens plays a man named Trent Miller, and Shawna Lenee is a woman named Morgan Tayler. The film opens with them having romantic sex in a fancy hotel room. After it’s over, we see her get dressed, and while Trent is asleep in the bed, she takes some money out of his wallet and leaves the room.

The next morning, Trent is found dead in his room. Jason Sarcinelli is LAPD Homicide Detective John Cade, who arrives to investigate. It’s never mentioned how Trent was killed, he doesn’t appear to have been shot, stabbed, strangled, or hit. He’s lying on the bed, naked, in the same position he was in when Morgan left him the night before. Det. Cade even rhetorically asks Trent “why aren’t you breathing anymore?” It’s too soon for them to have done any type of toxicology report on him, so they don’t know if he’s been poisoned. He could have died of natural causes. But since Cade was sent, it’s clear the cops are assuming he was murdered, and that’s how Cade’s investigation proceeds. He finds Morgan’s card on the scene, and she becomes his prime suspect, as he tries to track her down, but she’s gone missing.

India Summer plays Sasha, a woman who is staying at Morgan’s house, and Kelli McCarty plays Morgan’s best friend, Catherine. Most of the movie is just Cade going back and forth to their houses trying to ask them about Morgan and where she is, and them both swearing they don’t know anything. It ends up coming out that all three women were part of an exclusive escort service, although they try to clean it up by claiming it’s a “matching service”, where rich businessmen like to meet hot young actresses.

Trent was a client whom Morgan had been seeing for the past couple of months, and a flashback scene shows that Sasha had had sex with him before, too. Catherine is the one who got Morgan into the business, and we get a flashback of the two of them having a threesome with Richard (Christian Cage), the man who runs it. Richard also has 1 on 1 sex scenes with Sasha, Catherine, and Morgan throughout this film.

Once Richard is introduced in the film, he’s automatically the real obvious suspect. And, spoiler alert, he does turn out to be the bad guy. But how and why he killed Trent is never properly explained, not that you’ll give a damn by the time film gets to that climax.

Oh yeah, and even though he acts like a dick to her every time he meets her, Sasha and Cade randomly end up falling for each other and have sex twice, with the implication in the end that they’re staying together now.

As you can see, I was not impressed with the “writing.” And the acting wasn’t much better. Summer and McCarty appear to be trying to do the best they can with the material they’re given, but Sarcinelli and Lenee are just sleepwalking through their lines. Christian Cage is the worst, though. His face shows zero emotion. His character is supposed to be intimidating, but he just comes off as stiff and robotic.

The only thing keeping this film from being a total write-off is the 8 sex scenes, all of which are top-notch. It’s not surprising, as it’s one thing MRG Entertainment was known for when it comes to softcore. They look passionate and are beautifully shot. So I’m giving this film a split Chacebook rating: FIVE STARS for the sex scenes and THREE STARS for the rest.

Basically, I’m saying, watch this film but just skip forward to the sex scenes.
