Review of Rated X

Rated X (2000 TV Movie)
6/10
Some good work, some not so good
14 January 2001
Warning: Spoilers
CONTAINS SPOILER: Not really a bad film, better than I had expected it to be. Sheen and Estevez are accomplished actors, and that shows here. The women in the cast were very good, also, Tracy Hutson, Megan Ward, Danielle Brett, and Nicole de Boer. I've had to spend some time in San Francisco on business the last 15 years or so, so I was aware of the ads for the O'Farrell Theatre, and, I think there is another Mitchell Brothers theatre or club or something there in the Tenderloin. I was also aware that one of the brothers had killed the other, but didn't remember which one. Oh, well, back to the film. Estevez succumbed to the temptation to use far too many distracting director techniques, and that detracted from the film. And the bald pates on the brothers looked way fake. I don't know if they wore wigs or shaved their heads, but the bald areas were too sharply delineated from the hair. Overall, the film is worth watching when it comes on cable.
