Anything That Moves

A fine crime thriller by John Leslie, shot on film with a serious and successful attempt at making a real movie, not simply porn.

It's a compelling murder mystery, told in a series of flashbacks as two cops (Lee Chandler and Melody Moore) strongly interrogate a person of interest, star Selena Steele. Prime suspect is Steele's roommate Traci Wynn, accused of killing her cheating boyfriend Tim Lake. Both women are strippers, with director Leslie emphasizing the rather sordid milieu they work in, as well as the sex they're involved with, beginning with a lengthy bachelor party sequence in which Selena f*cks the groom while Traci has sex with Randy Spears while all the other guys watch, and then follows up with sex with Nick Santiago.

What makes the movie work is the fine acting by the principal sex performers plus the NonSex talent Lee and Melody as cops. They grill Selena relentlessly, and the viewer comes to realize that since all the flashbacks represent Selena's point-of-view she may not be a reliable narrator. That makes for a suspenseful story and a satisfying ending when flashbacks finally reveal what REALLY happened on the night Tim Lake was killed.
