Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Maziun The movie is also known uder the title Tied up . This movie seems to be a blend of Basic Instinct and 8MM . It's based on a book , but from what I've heard only very loosely. The movie is set in 1977 , but why exactly ? ? It could have easily been set in the present day with absolutely no changes to the plot. I don't know , maybe the moviemakers wanted to feel original or something.There are two good things in this movie. The snow covered Toronto is a really good location that helps to create a dark mood. Also the acting of Dolph Lundgren and Danielle Brett is REALLY solid. Especially Dolph shows here that he has got a reasonable talent and you start to wonder what if he played in better movies with better roles ? He deserves more credit for his acting skills. Also I respect that he wanted to do something different than action movie - an erotic thriller where the action is non-existent.Unfortunately that's the end of good things. There is a horrible performance by Victor Pedtrchenko who plays Polish (?) pimp. The movie feels too long , despite being only 94 minutes long. There are several parts of the movie where it seems that footage is missing. The solution to the mystery is obvious for anyone with half of brain. Ironically , the plot itself either drags in places (the investigation of the brother's employer) or is incomprehensible. Character motivations are confusing. There is no sense of suspense. The story is campy and feels like it belongs more to a porn movie than serious thriller. The film is needlessly gory and ridiculous. How anyone could take this stuff seriously ? It's not sexy and often unintentionally funny. It's unpleasant at best. A rather boring , over serious , cheap shock thriller.I give it 1/10.

BloodTheTelepathicDog In how many ways can a person tell another to avoid a film?This mess of a movie, is all to easy to decipher. If you can't figure out who the real murderess is fifteen minutes into this stinker, than you should be monkey-stompedThe plot centers on Matt Sorenson(Lundgren), a burnt out ex-police officer drunk, how about that tired Hollywood cliché, who searches for the killer of his kinky-sex addicted brother.Dolph slaps around everyone that he comes into contact with, from the numerous hoodlums to his only pal on the police force. Why the hell he slaps around his only buddy is beyond me, maybe its to build his character, but for what purpose?Plenty of leather uniforms and toys that I hope to never see in my bedroom.

Mike It just seems to run true to form, any movie starring Dolph Lundgren is bad! I don't know if it is the fact that the storyline in full of holes, or that Dolph is such a bad actor. No spoiler here, He seems to overdue the pushing and shoving and grabbing and touching thing in this movie. In my opinion it is a wonder that some of these projects find venture capital to get in the can and to the theatre.

flimbuff As a general rule I don't like martial arts movies and especially don't like Dolph Lundgren. But this isn't his typical fare and altho he still doesn't come off as an actor this film has a sort of interesting plot and our Dolph isn't the all powerful superhero.He is an alcoholic ex-cop who has gotten involved in tracing what may be a serial killer for reasons of his own and almost displays some semblance of humanity. I say almost because although he tries our hero still has a lot of work to do, but this film is tolerable for the late nite audience.
