Reasonable Doubt

Glamour model Amber Smith plays Charlie, a detective on the trail of a serial (aren't they all?) killer in this run-of the-mill erotic thriller. The killer has all the hallmarks of a killer known as The Baptist, but he was killed a year previously by Charlie. Has he come back from the dead? Was he the wrong man? If you have seen this type of film before then you have probably guessed the outcome with its twist at the end, but at leas there are some hot nude scenes to stir the blood. This though, is not really enough to compensate for the terrible camera-work.

The problem is with the director, Eric DelaBarre who uses all sorts of camera gimmickry in the course of the film - and too many times. We get fast motion, quick-fire montages, zooming, but the worst aspect is the shaky camera - it's too much. Hint to all film-makers: just because you have lots of buttons, switches and knobs on your cameras and editing suites, it is not compulsory to use them all. In conclusion, the eye-candy is, well, eye-candy but as for the rest of the film, no thanks.
