Amazon.com video review:
Back when he wasn't relegated to the lesser cable channels,
soft-porn meister Zalman King uncorked this howler of a drama on moviegoers, who
were
initially titillated by the ratings battle, but then shrugged and went off
in search of the next cheap sensation. Model and subsequent Mickey Rourke
squeeze Carré
Otis plays a brilliant young attorney--well, we're told she's brilliant,
although watching her in action, straining to wrap those puffy lips around
her legalese dialogue, definitely conjures up other adjectives. She's
dispatched to Rio de Janeiro under the guise of real-estate law and ends up
seduced both by the exotic culture and by a brooding, highly misunderstood
and frighteningly orange-skinned multimillionaire (Rourke). Kinky (for the
time) sex games and deliriously mannered dialogue make this a rather
pretentious exercise, unleavened by any truly erotic sensuality. Fun for
taunting purposes, though. --David Kronke
