deecee29 Many of the previous reviewers have compared this movie with 50 Shades of Grey and it shouldn't be. While it has some things in common with that movie, it is a completely different story. This is the story of a woman who all her life has done exactly what is expected of her. But after being introduced to BDSM, she finds that it helps her to become a stronger person.

amyrourke56 So much Cinema is Psychotherapy ~ especially in America, where the puritan streak meets with capitalism every nanosecond, where the human stain of sexism and racism runs through every frame. Let's face it folks, this is a comic book/look at the zillions spent on promoting the utter dross that is 50 shades ( yes, they are doing 50 Shades 2 ~ the marketing masterpiece ).I needed a little light relief and as a big fan of Charisma Carpenter from the Buffy/Angel years, I was willing to spend $1.95 Australian ~ American cousins can 'do the math', to have a look at her as she is now. Cordelia was always a sexpot, so it makes sense for grown up 'Cordy' to be revisited.I laughed, did not take it seriously and was as pleased as punch when Supermichelle got to sock it to the villain of the piece. Some message board mentioned 'Venus in Furs' ~ an admirable compare & contrast study. If anyone is really interested ~ do a triple feature, in any order, of this title, 50 Shades & Roman Polanski's ' Venus in Fur'. Then write a short poem, thesis, review or what you will.

Mark Hunter This was just about as bad as it gets for a BDSM related movie. I'm not sure how the script or the director got this in front of a camera but they are better salesman than they are movie makers.Producers of these types of films, including those from 50 shades, really need to get to understand the BDSM lifestyle a little more. They make a complete mockery of the experience and get lost in the whole whips and chains of it all. They have the ability to create something more erotic and powerful than any movie ever made but turn it into steaming piles of whatever this movie was.Lastly, as a BDSM enthusiast, I thought the portrayal of the main male character was pathetic. Turning him into an abusive statutory rapist?, well done. You managed to make the movie's plot match the performance of its 'actors'.The 1 star is for Charisma Carpenters looks alone.

Eddie_weinbauer This is a lame attempt to make a low budget 50 shades of Grey.But all it does, is remind you of those god awful movies,those so called erotic thrillers, that came in the wake of basic instinct's success, but was really just glorified softcore porn. But the difference is those were made with younger former scream queens,B-C movie actresses who weren't afraid to go full frontal. Something charisma doesn't seem willing to do. Which would be fine,if she didn't accept scripts that would need full frontal for her role to work,or at get some attention. The producers seem to hope that Charismas tits are gonna save this movie,which they can't. the script is to boring and her character uninteresting. Who ever directed this should be shot,or go back to film school.When Charisma undresses,they focus on her face.And I mean REALLY focus on her face.They zoom so close you can see the wrinkles around the eyes. The story is lame and Charisma can't manage to show an emotion to anything that happens around here. Sadly her face seem to only have 2 expression, pleasure and anger.Those are the only two emotions she manage to express fully,with her face.I'm pretty sure her phone hasn't been ringing off the hook since she left Buffy and Angel,but this is just sad.
