Review of Ginger

A good setup and a sexy-as-hell (if obviously inexperienced; this was her film debut, after all) leading lady get bogged down by static pacing, poorly lit night scenes, very little and very mediocre action, distasteful (as opposed to tasteful) (s)exploitation, and contradictory genre politics: the filmmakers make Ginger a dominant character most of the way, only to subvert all that in the last 10 minutes. Clearly a B-grade production, "Ginger" somehow remains watchable in spite of its flaws - and as much as I try, I can't think of any reason other than the fact that Cheri Caffaro is so uninhibitedly sexy. Best line (while she's simultaneously kissing and interrogating another woman): "You go on and I'll go on". ** out of 4.
