Graphic Desires

Ill assume the makers wanted to create a thriller with probably some degree of eroticism. However, mid way the plot fell apart or the direction faltered. Whichever it was it went off the rails and copious amounts of sex was thrown in till neither the sex nor the plot had any meaning.

A major reason for my assumption is the storyline which is intricate but inadequately executed. Such storylines are rarely written for erotica( the genre had already run its due course in the 80s & 90s), while the unexplained sex every few minutes adds no coherence to the plot.

This is an fairly decent average budget flick that offers bountiful gratification which isnt hard core and provides some semblance of a storyline that may at best tickle your thinking. Id say, very watchable.

It starts out rather routine. Franklin works from home for a computer company, and has a girlfriend, who really loves him. Franklin also has a buddy who likes the dating scene, via swiping on apps. Franklin's girlfriend is away on business, and Franklin decides to cheat, and meets Atlanta through an app. He even videos most of the encounter, and decides to fall in love with Atlanta. In fact he becomes obsessed and brings up all these scenarios in his mind. He even has her in danger, and feels he is the only one who can protect her. His girlfriend finds the video on his phone, and also desperately wants to find her. That he cheated is devastating for her. And from the video, Atlanta has a tattoo, so Franklin's friends have apps that can possibly trace who has the tattoo, akin to facial recognition software, although theirs is in beta. And his friends find out something about the video that is real twist. The script lacks details that would allow one to better follow what is going on, since for most, it simply makes Franklin as a real creep of a person. Someone who has a woman who loves him deeply, yet feels necessary to cheat and becomes obsessed with another woman.

No pun intended - this starts off as a movie about infidelity ... in more than one sense (and I really like that it is not one sided) ... but it evolves in something more (sinister) ... again no pun intended. So as you can guess with a subject matter like that, there will be quite a lot of nudity.

You can't be too sensitive about this - and generally have an issue with intercourse of course. This really does tests the line between soft and hard core. There is nothing really explicit (as in showing actual penetration), but it gets really close a lot! But that is not the main selling point of the movie. Or at least I think there is more to it.

Now if they had a bit more work done on the script ... I think it could have been even better. Really interesting and quite topical theme ... the acting is a bit rough to watch ... but it does work overall ... even if you may wonder from time to time, why character act the way they do ... seen worse to be honest, so I was ok with however the movie approached things ... just suspend your disbelief and just ... come as you are! Satisfaction (sort of) guaranteed.

Had a difficult time figuring out what this was supposed to be. Soft porn film, thriller or possibly both?

Starts off reasonably well until the plot device kicks in - man becomes obsessed with woman he's seen. Certainly didn't pull that part off very well at all. Stupid reasoning for why he's so obsessed and also the execution.

Without spoilers, the reasoning for going to the next step about concern for something bad happening and reasoning why others want to know is out of a bad porn movie. Execution rest of the way - silly, stupid, awkward, almost without effort. Erotic, not really a thriller.

So this film gets 1 star for plot, 3 stars for soft porn. And tht should just about give you all you need to know - as well as the message this film leaves. Everyone really underneath it all just wants to do crazy sexual things given the chance. Alrighty then. Next...

I was very surprised by this indie movie. Another erotic movie with no plot and no acting? Not at all! The actors are good and the plot is full of twists. I am also very pleased to finally see an erotic movie with equal nudity from male and female actors! The director made very good choice of lightening and some scenes look very beautiful on screen. Congrats to all the crew who made a very good film with low budget! I recommend it.
