Excited innocence
19 August 2020
Pamela Anderson - how sweet, innocent and pure does she look in this one? Yes and hot and sexy too of course. But daymn her naive playfulness ... well let's not get ahead of ourselves. This came after Basic Instinct, which I have to rewatch and you would not be wrong for at least marginally comparing those two. But there is an added touch to this - no pun intended.

There's a lot of nudity (thrillers of the 90s ey?), but also a lot of madness. I had forgotten about the story, though sometime after half the movie was over I kinda remembered. I think I liked the twist back then, not sure how apparent it is to most or if they even care. And while Steven Bauer has been such a highlight in movies like Scarface and you might feel sorry for him .. don't! He got to play with Pam, so no, I refuse to feel sorry for him getting paid to do this. Apart from that (because after all it's play pretend as we know) this movie is ludicrous to say the least. The intentions are fine and I guess there are some grey areas, even if they're not as clear as they could be. Acting is stiff at times (sorry for the pun) and you'll either totally get Bauers character (smitten he is) or think he's a tool ... maybe both are true. The ending is also quite ... well I don't even know what to say. But Pamela ... (oh and Chelsea Fields is in this too, although she sort of plays second fiddle ... again with the innuendos)
