Wordiezett So much average

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

sol- This starts off quite well, with some interesting ideas about traditions, rituals and values in different societies, however about halfway into it, the film starts to fall down, triggered by the introduction of thriller elements that just do not quite work. Sigourney Weaver delivers a strong performance throughout though. The rest of the performers do not do much out of the ordinary, but Weaver manages to bring a sense of credibility to her part, although she is too often topless. The partial nudity involving her is excessive for the film's story, but otherwise, she is great to have on screen, and her attractiveness does not hurt. There is not much of a directing vision to the material, the story is only half-good and there are probably a few other minor problems to be found. Sigourney Weaver certainly enlivens the material however, and the film is not bad to start with. For Weaver fans, it is definitely worth a look, however even for others it is satisfactory enough film-making to be perhaps worth checking out.

ma-cortes The film talks about a young woman called Lauren Slaughter (Sigourney Weaver) who works as a lecturer and researcher at the Arab-Anglo Institute in London during day and sophisticated escort serving to VIPS by night at the Jasmine Escort Service . To supplement her income , she has a special client to British diplomatic (Michael Caine) who is acting as ambassador in the conflict amongst Jews and Palestines . He's trying to create an important peace treaty but the various confronted factions want to shatter the pacification project . The plot isn't narrated with agility and seems to be a little forced and artificial . It's quite unsuccessful but there're pretty dialog and not much action with exception on the final reel that's fast movement and is funniest . The picture obtained lukewarm reception by the public in spite of the magnificent starring duo and was a flop and barely made monetary box office . Although technically well realized is mediocre and doesn't offer surprises . The motion picture is classified ¨R¨ as abounds the nudism in charge of Sigourney Weaver as an escort becomes a pawn in some very dark politics , violence when the murders happen , sexual themes and profanity . The support cast though unknown is very secondary , the film is mainly interpreted by two exceptional actors : Weaver and Caine . The movie was regularly directed by Bob Swaim . The film will appeal to excellent protagonist pair fans . Rating : Mediocre and entertaining .

trpdean Pair perhaps the most obnoxious character in the history of movies (insulting, insufferably conceited, insistent on baring her near-anorexic body to everyone including landlord on a routine basis, incapable of human warmth, bossy, foul-mouthed, promiscuous, raunchy) ---- with a purportedly famous, successful, warm man who may soon be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize - and what do you get?One of the worst movies I've ever seen. **** SPOILERS **** Little makes sense here as contradictions just fly - e.g., we hear that the man cannot go out with anyone other than prostitutes because he hasn't the time - and then watch him attend plays, go to the country for weekends, attend dog racing, and lie at home, bored with nothing to do.e.g., we hear the man say that the notion of security risk from sexual blackmail ceased to exist forty years before - so he has no problem inviting a prostitute repeatedly to his home - and then we hear him say that he cannot visit the upscale neighborhood in which the prostitute lives because it would be a security risk.e.g., we hear that the entire virtue of escort services is to assure sex to the busy man on the go. And then we see the prostitute arrogate to herself whether or not to have sex - and repeatedly refuse sex to men who have paid rather a lot for the presumed reliability. Nevertheless, we are told (unconvincingly) that the physically unattractive prostitute has become popular. e.g., we are told repeatedly of the charm of the prostitue - but she is as coarse as anyone the viewer has ever seen, deeply insulting to all.e.g., we are told of the astounding background in Middle Eastern affairs held by the prostitute - so why was she living in China "doing field work"?e.g., we are told of the social panache of the prostitute - yet she turns up at a posh country house wearing completely the wrong clothes.e.g., we are told that the reason the American woman is poverty-stricken is due to her "desire to live abroad" - since when are all positions overseas barred to those with doctorates from Harvard? e.g., we are told that the man is a great statesman who has unparallelled skill in the negotiation of agreements between other countries - so why does he have a photograph of himself with a tyrant on his table at home?**** SPOILERS END **** This is a wretched movie - in which you yearn for someone to kill the pprotagonist - yet somehow they vainly try to make this wretched preening creature the subject of a romance. Avoid this movie - it's just awful.

The Doomite Before I give you my opinion of this movie, I must tell you that I bought it just for the fact that Sigourney Weaver was in it. Back in late '93 - early '94, I was just becoming one of Ms. Weaver's fans. I bought the video from a little video store close to my house. When I watched it, it was (and still is!) a real treat to see a topless Ms. Weaver. Not only is she topless in more than one place in the film, the whole "famous exercise bike" scene has to rank as one of the top ten seduction scenes in my book! That having been said, as the years have passed, I've grown to like the rest of the movie for what it is: a romance/political suspense movie. I have yet to read the book, but I hope to sometime. All in all, a great movie!
