Undercover

This movie is a very nice Erotic-Thriller. If I had to compare this movie to a more mainstream movie, I'd go with "Scream." A call girl from a high price whorehouse is murdered, and it is up to the tom-boy police woman (Athena Massey) to go undercover as a prostitute to find the killer. At the same time, she sees a "sexy" side to her that she didn't know she had.

Cindy (Athena Massey) does a very good job at making you believe she is an innocent tom-boy at the beginning of the flick, which really makes it hot when you finally see her cut-loose and explore her sexual side.

The main plot is trying to guess who the killer is. It isn't revealed to the viewer until the end of the movie. Unlike the "Scream" series, I think this movie did a better job of "surprising" you with who the killer actually is.

All in all, a well-rounded film. A definite "don't miss" if you're in the mood for some sex, and mystery.

My very first enlightenment about how people do it. i found this (possibly) bootleg VCD in a little hill back of my primary school, then i went home and insert the disc into my computer. days after that, i throw the disc out the window, but something different stayed. years later, i remembered this movie, and managed to get a copy, i will not throw it away again.

You need three things to have a good B-Movie. 1, you need nudity. Undercover Heat has a lot of it. 2, you need a face passed story without a lot of dialogue and hard to follow plots. Undercover Heat is far from confusing. And 3, a strong leading actress that can act. Athena Massey not only carried this film that made her into a sex image, but she made her role as the "Tom Boy" cop believable.

A wonderful supporting cast that doesn't take away from the film. Athena is amazing to watch on screen. That reason alone makes you want to rent this one over and over again.

No pun intended - obviously the title is referring to a cop trying to find stuff out about a serial killer. For that she only has to pretend to be a high class ... prostitute I think is the correct word for it. A woman of different pleasures. Ah well someone has to do it, right? And why not take one of the hottest woman out there? Athena and her body are mind blowing. I assume depending on your first time watch, she'll do more than just that to your body.

All innuendo and jokes aside, the movie tries to be classy when it comes to its depiction of erotic, while still showing off as much of her body (and some other women obviously) ... there is more music laid over it and less moaning, if that plays a particular role for you. But the movie also has Meg Foster and Jeffrey Dean Morgan ... I had no idea who they were when I watched it back in the day. Though I assume Dean Morgan wasn't too big of a star back then (certainly not as much as he is nowadays).

The softcore approach of it has to be something you like, if you are into women that do have some nice ... chest area you will be more than satisfied too. Oh and of course there is the story - I mean the culprit ... and the crimes. Well you need some excuse for the characters to be doing stuff - have fun in guessing who is who - acting wise this really won't have any satisfactory ... highlights if you forgive my pun.

UNDERCOVER (3 outta 5 stars) Well, I assumed this was a "real" movie... the video box and plot description seemed to indicate that... but 5 minutes into the flick it becomes obvious that this is softcore porn (tipoffs: frequent gratuitous nude grappling, obviously phony names in the credits). The amazing thing to me was: it actually works as a fairly routine police thriller as well as a sex movie! Not a great thriller by any stretch of the imagination... but the acting is competent, the script is decent and the premise is actually explored with more candor and honesty than it would have been in a "real" movie. A sexy, tomboy female cop (Athena Massey) goes undercover in a high-class whorehouse to try and track someone who is killing off the girls. She is supposed to be sheltered from having actual sex by other undercover cops posing as clients and giving a secret password. Unfortunately the password turns out to be a little too commonplace an expression in a place like this and she finds herself having to deal with actual clients. Well, you don't expect the girl to break her cover, do you? This is her job after all... This has always been a favorite theme of mine in undercover cop movies... how far can/should a cop go in order to play their role? Usually in mainstream movies the issue gets side-stepped and the cop never has to actually go all the way to protect their cover... but that's not the case here. Nice performance by actor Tom Tayback as the police sergeant (something about his voice and manner made me think he was related to Bruce Dern).
