• Mildly amusing eroticism, but ultimately too strange for casual viewing

  Honestly, I thought this was some sort of detective thriller or maybe horror movie. The fact that it's softcore with S&M theme was a bit shocking. It does have some crime aspect, although it's far too flimsy and lacking depth. Audience might find some comedy through its corny delivery, though the movie is one strange experience, it's really not that enjoyable or even approachable. Story follows a few women's perspective, each has tie to a dubious porn site. The main plot is a female officer's effort to bring this site down, while a couple of other subplots are shoehorned for promiscuous scenes. In fact, one of them is practically a housewife doing exhibitionism. Investing considerably portion of movie for outdoor exhibitionist is one of many examples of its oddity. Pacing is usually hampered with several nudity or downright dominant play. For what it's worth, a couple of the scenes do have sensual tone as the production has clear idea how to present these. However, the silly antics, excessive gore and borderline porn content are not for mass consumption. There might be a niche for this kind or movie, for obvious reasons, but casual viewers might find this too bizarre to be entertaining.

  One of the Japanese anime stories turned out to be a real. To be frank, this movie won't meet your satisfaction unless you are searching for nudity's and some weirdo's sex scenes. So, it's highly restricted for underage people. Even thought the plot is well written, sadly, the direction is not that good. We can see two great acting from two characters; however, the rests are spoiling the movie. There are confusion and mystery in the movie that is why I liked it. but some people will hate it because of the mixed conclusion. In a nutshell, if you are a movies addict, you can give this one a try. Otherwise, you can spend your time watching another movie. This one is not for normal viewers. however, this movie has a highly sick imagination for leaving the viewers between the sadness of a family relationship, the madness of a mental illness behaviors, and/or the selfishness of an illegal enterprise. i wish that they do much work on the directing instead of shaping this movie to look alike porn low budget movie.
