A lot more porno than killing
31 August 2008
Two sexy female assassins (kind of a homicidal version of "Charlie's Angels") are sent from "New York City" (actually the poolside opening scene looks much more like it takes place at a sunny Italian villa)to kill a man. The plot has something to do with a drug rip-off. Whatever storyline this has though is quickly rendered inconsequential by the numerous long sex scenes that bring the action to a screeching halt every ten minutes or so. Before they even START looking for their man, for instance, the two assassins have a farewell orgy in "New York" with their two adoring boy-toys, then with each other in the shower of their Rome hotel room.

The "plot" here is as about as convincing as your average hardcore porn flick of that era ( kind of like the John Holme's "Johnny Wadd" films that were hilariously parodied in "Boogie Nights"). Actually, the version I saw even had some hardcore footage. While the actual penetration shots were obviously inserts, I was impressed that they could even come CLOSE to finding a convincing body double for Carmen Bizet (aka Carmen Russo), one of the co-leads. Russo was built like "Jessica Rabbit" come to life (and seemingly without the benefit of plastic surgery). Her bust size was easily twice her waist size and she had a very nice "A" to go with her impressive "T's". She was never in a good movie in her entire career (including this one), but she might be most remembered for her half-naked catfight with the equally voluptuous Mariangela Giordano in "Patrick Lives Again" or her nude satanic dancing in the ridiculous "Ring of Darkness". As I said Russo's hardcore scenes here are obviously doubled, but the drool-inducing softcore scenes are all her.

This movie is not available yet in English. The Italian version I saw had white-on-white Spanish subtitles that I gave myself a migraine trying to read. But trust me, the dialogue here is even less important than the plot. I wouldn't recommend this to most people, but if you're a Carmen Russo fan, I'm sure wild horses won't keep you away.
