Trade Secrets

By Ayesha Haqqiqa

Synopsis: Jerry Morrison is an American cop assigned to help French police. He is requested to investigate a drowning death of a rich heiress, and, in the process, uncovers the secrets and lusts of her family. At least, that�s what it�s supposed to be about. Mainly, it is a mishmash of confusing scenes that don�t add up to a very entertaining, much less erotic, movie.

Sam�s Performance: Well, Sam looks nice in the clothes he wears. His earnestness and sincerity shine through, which, in this case, is bad, because the character he plays is not supposed to be very nice at all�at least that�s the conclusion I drew after watching this VERY confusing film. The problem with the movie is not Sam�s acting, but rather a script that doesn�t make anything clear, and artsy direction that puts you asleep instead of getting you aroused.

Must-see Scene: There really are none, because the whole movie is disjointed. Probably the most amusing scene was when Sam, as Jerry, asked another character for tips on being a gigalo! As if THE MAN needed any tips on how to attract and please ladies!

Rating:

The ratings are in SAMS and go from 1(you won�t be able to sit through the film once) to 5 (this one you need to buy and watch over and over).

1 Sam
