Masseuse 3

Not a bad film for a low budget thriller. The acting of Landon Hall and John Michael Vaughn is very believable, they work well together. Richard Chance does a great job bringing the sick character of Mr. Frost to life. He is very twisted yet funny until getting blown away at the end by Sheila Raines. Mr. Frost spends much of his time trying to find a way into Sheila's house to get his hands on the valuable video tapes he has been hired to steal. He finally ends up killing the home security repairman and stepping in as his replacement only to get the security code for his own use. Richard Chance does a great job playing both characters but is really a joy to watch as he not only kidnaps Sheila Raines and Jack Gage at gunpoint but really knows how to punch a woman. There is also a great little fight scene between Jack Gage and Mr. Frost at the end of the film. It never pays to punch a woman but Mr. Frost does it well. I hope to see him in the upcoming Masseuse movies.

This OK soft core porn with attractive women and a tolerable plot to boot. But if you want the real thing, there is a hardcore film also called "Masseuse 3" which has become a classsic in the hardcore genre. It stars, among others, the beautiful redhead Melissa Hill. The sex scenes are terrific and the story line and acting too is much better than this soft core

"Masseuse 3" is jam-packed with heavy-breathing sex scenes. Unfortunately, only one of those scenes is original. And it doesn't occur until "Masseuse 3" is about to end. It's between the leads, Landon Hall's Sheila and John Michael Vaughn's Det. Jack Gage. They're terrific together. Sexy as sexy should be. Very good. Very believable in the "Hot! Hot! Hot!" department. (The moans of pleasure emerging from both actors' performances -- especially Vaughn's -- don't seem false.)

However, the rest of this erotic thriller's -- obviously as cheap as a low-budget, direct-to-video flick can get -- is comprised of scenes clipped from an obscure 1994 release. I'm familiar with Ms. Hall's work -- and she once again impresses. Mr. Vaughn, though, seems rather new to the genre -- and he is a welcomed addition, a fresh talent.

If you're going to watch "Masseuse 3," my recommendation is to fast-forward to about an hour and twenty-two minutes. (Very helpful if your VCR can be programmed to do so.) Just in time to see Hall and Vaughn impress. The rest, most certainly, does not.

The acting in this is horrible, absolutely no plot line and the sex scenes are ridiculous. Even with all of these flaws everyone should see this at least once. The horribleness of this movie will make you laugh.

This movie has everything needed to fall asleep: poor acting, disjointed transitions, poor camera angles(see Landon's big feet as she watches the tapes from her bed), patchwork scenes from some other failed movie to fill time, and yes a cop that is even more stupid than dumb and dumber.The worst actor is some black cop who looks like the janitor on the movie set, paying his way to night high school. Landon, a pretty girl, has poor close-ups that shows her face wrinkles. Ok, how's the sex scenes? Mediocre at best as the actors connect the dots to a formula. This gets 2 stars on 10, as one needs to see this to appreciate better made movies.
