Storyline
Featured review
This is a forgotten Vivid Video feature that is hard to figure. It was shelved for two years, features okay sex, but is extremely boring. It also sends the wrong message about women, despite being helmed by a talented femme director.
That wrong-headed message is that our heroine, Nikki Tyler as a hard-working private eye, suffers from a selfish creep of a boyfriend (poorly acted by Jon Dough) who can't stand her working and neglecting him, but at film's end she gives up her job and reconciles with the jerk. What kind of message is that, in a movie (albeit porn, but no excuse) depicting its star as a strong, competent woman. In 1996 when this was shot, just as in 2024 now, this domination of women by men is a disgusting situation to endorse.
Other than that key element, the movie is extremely boring. Worst example is a functional scene of Nikki going to the apartment of a missing girl, and making some phone calls -for a minute or two a dog is barking loudly on the soundtrack -doesn't fit the scene. Instead of shooting it over or just cutting this worthless scene, the barking dog footage remains in the movie -totally inept.
Stacy Valentine co-stars as Sandra's friend who helps the detective's investigation. Yet a pretty, unidentified actress plays Molly Blake, Nikki's partner in their detective firm in a large NonSex role but is omitted from the credits (and any reference website I Googled). Yet other very minor players do receive a credit on-screen.
Two cases are covered here, both with frustrating results (in order to support the annoying plot point that our heroine gives up her career at the end). Just imagine a TV series or the first film in a potential series about a female private eye where she doesn't solve any case and decides to give it all up. That's a factory reject screenplay if I ever saw one.
