Amanda Grace (Kate Vernon) is a radio sex therapist with an active sex life of one night stands. She meets Mick Burroughs (Lou Diamond Phillips) at a book signing and brings him to a party. He's a controlling man of perversity with a criminal past. He videotapes her having kinky sex with a female prostitute and he blackmails her.
This is strictly a bad erotic thriller. The problem is that I don't buy Lou Diamond Phillips. I can see him as a weak criminal which leaves me with the question of whether she would fall for him in the first place. I don't see it happening which makes it hard for me to buy this movie from the start. I don't see the chemistry or the attraction. I've never seen LDP as a great actor. He's always been an interesting actor of limited range. There are some sections of good tension like when she tries and fails to buy back the tape. However the movie is never able to maintain it.
