Featured reviews
I watched this movie on DVD thinking that it must be rather a complicated drama but the movie turned out to be better than my expectation. Even he reviews were less I thought of writing my own. The movie is basically on the life a small young age brunette who leave her house after her mother dies and get tangled in skin business. The writer and director has really tried hard to show the real life of whores who sell their skin for small bucks and still be competitors of each others. From start to end it holds the audience but the end is rather usual or depict-able. Perhaps it could have been made better. But as an overall I must say a worth watch! Give it a try!
Guys, seriously don't bother. The acting is not amazing, (except for Viva Bianca who probably the only thing that made this whole movie worthwhile) you don't understand why the characters behave the way they do. The storyline is blotchy, many things remain unexplained. SUPER unrealistic. The concept and the story seems great at first but too many of the pieces don't stick together. They manage to keep you interested and hooked because you're hoping somehow everything will fit into order eventually. NOT. The 2 out of those 3/10 is for the exquisite nudity of the actresses,but for the rest it's not worth it. BOTTOM LINE: If you enjoy being incredibly frustrated then go ahead and grab yourself some popcorn and get ready for this ride.

THRILLER
Co-produced, co-written and directed by Jon Hewitt that has expensive high end escort Holly Rowe (Viva Bianca) offering decent money to young runaway, rookie hooker. Shay Ryan (Hanna Mangan Lawrence)to join her to entertain a client, only then to witness that same client get executed in cold blood, forcing both of them to go on the run. Shay does however build up a rapport with cabbie, Harry(Eamon Farren). Complicating matters is the fact that the person who is chasing them also happens to be a cop named Bennet (Stephen Phillips).
The escort Holly had two opportunities to take advantage of the situation, and to some frustrates some viewers- one during the time when Bennet stopped her at the hotel and then again with the car, which if people were to watch this would know what I Am talking about.

X opens with a young couple having it off in front of a group of middle-aged, upper class women. This gives the impression that we're in for some sort of erotic extravaganza, but hold on...
We are then introduced to two prostitutes, Holly (Viva Bianca), a high-priced call girl, and Shay (Hanna Mangan Lawrence), who is a street walker. Holly and Shay cross paths when their lives become overly complicated in different ways.
It just so happens that Holly needs a third participant for a scheduled threesome, and Shay takes her up on it. Unfortunately, their client isn't just another John, and something happens that results in murder, sending Holly and Shay on the run.
X is less of an "erotic thriller" and more of a straight thriller with prostitutes as its protagonists. As such, it's a head-first dive into the darker side of life. It's not altogether clear if Holly or Shay will survive their ordeal. Don't expect them to be hand-wringing pushovers, though. These are tough women with brains.
X is not at all what was expected, and that's a good thing...

This was one of those movies where you aren't really sure what to expect when it starts, and it starts out with a sexual scene that introduces us to one of the main characters. I watched this with my boyfriend and we both agreed it was a surprisingly good movie, you really feel for the main characters, and it's a bit of a "heartwarming thriller".
I recommend this movie if you're looking for an action movie with heart, the first 30 minutes are a bit slow-paced and you might wonder what this movie is about, exactly. However once the main characters come together, the plot gets going and there are a lot of nicely filmed chase scenes and a few plot twists that keep the audience interested, both male and female.
Ladies, despite the cover and the subject matter, I think women will enjoy the strong sisterly bond between the two main characters and the warmth and caring in their relationship as much as the men will enjoy the action and ample amount of nude scenes in the film. It was definitely not what I expected it to be!

- TriviaViva Bianca wasn't able to take the part originally due to scheduling conflicts with Spartacus. However, the return of Andy Whitfield's cancer uprooted the production schedule as it was clear he was not able to continue. While in the series was in stasis, Bianca filmed this movie.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the film, Shay stands near a train holding a coin and goes to a beggar sitting nearby to give him the coin. In the first scene, the beggar was sitting with his legs crossed above the ground, but in the next scene when Shay drops the coin in the beggar's hat, he was sitting his legs touching the ground.
