Forbidden Sins

I think this movie deserves extra points for its taste and style. The cinematography is great, actors are all beautiful, and the homes that the people lives in are just gorgeous.

I don't know who MRG Entertainment is, but the production is flawless in this movie. It's bit of drama with intrigue for mature audience, but everything is done very professionally. Shannon Tweed is convincing as a professional lawyer (maybe with too much glam but who cares).

I can't give this movie a low rating, because everything is done so well. I'm not sure if this can just be categorized as soft porn because the drama part of it stands on its own.

The movie was fab, and is highly recommended for viewing.

The movies was average in the scope of soft porn movies. However, a shining star was Amy Lindsay playing Molly Malone.

While her acting skills are weak, she is very sharp. She is not a knockout but is very sweet and subtle and has several fantastic nude shots.

She is very worthy of a look.

Is it really a spoiler to call this the Shannon Tweed Skinemax version of 'Jagged Edge?' And just like the real 'Jagged Edge' the audience has already figured out whom the real killer is. We're just waiting for the heroine to catch up.

The original title 'Night Moves' was for some reason replaced with the redundant 'Forbidden Sins.' Perhaps 'A Shocking Surprise' or 'Violent Force' or 'Eternity Forever' or 'Criminal Conspiracy' or 'Maximum Extreme' would have been better Skinemax titles? Anyhow... David Mulholland is the wealthy owner of the Californian (Canadian) "Night Moves" (hence the original title) exotic dancer gentlemen's club (strip bar) arrested for killing one of his employees during rough sex.

Mulholland professes his innocence and blames the murder on a serial silicone killer. He hires the lead detective's ex wife as his high profile defense attorney. She's smart, she's sexy, she's sophisticated, she's Shannon Tweed.

Predictably the plot of 'Jagged Edge' ensues with more silicone boobs and sex than the original. And thankfully NO sex scenes between Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges! As far as Shannon Tweed films go this is actually one of the better ones. Only brief nudity by Tweed herself and only sexy courtroom suits, but at least the camera stays in focus and scenes of cheat actors forgetting their lines have been edited out. Two things the 'Night Eyes' series cannot claim.

Shannon Tweed fans should give it a look but don't expect too much.

In the pile of VHS tapes once found in a family member's bedroom, 'Forbidden Sins' is quite good in a lot areas outside of the obvious.

Amy Lindsay is an acceptable actress in parts, but she lacks the necessary subtlety and competence to deceive convincingly. Timothy Vahle is hilarious and provides the best moments of the movie, but also does Corbin Timbrook who feels very experienced and delivers his lines well. Myles O'Brien provides a sense of heroicness and decency to counterbalance the evil.

The overall screenplay and some interesting camera work in certain scenes elevate the movie, and overall it's better than your average late night softcore affair.

Considering the pretty advanced soft-porn this film isn't actually half bad. The plot is about the murder of a stripper, a good-looking and filthy rich male prime suspect who hires a stunning female super- lawyer to defend him not only in court but also against a bent cop who also happens to be the ex-husband of the lawyer. Seen it before? Yes and no, because the script avoids most of the normal Hollywood clichés in the sense that just when you think you can tell what´s going to happen next it doesn't. Unfortunately most of the actors are not as good as the twists of the script and although they may look their parts most of them can't act them. Finally, if you do not like explicit sex- scenes, and I do not mean the "Basic instinct" and "Sliver"-league, this film is not for you. On the other hand if you do like watching beautiful people involved in sado-masochistic sex-play, which actually fits into the plot, then it is.
