I paid £1.49 for this and I'd say I got my moneys worth. As you'd expect it's very derivative of most films of this genre and treads a fine line between credibility and hokum.

However it's not cringe-inducing bad and I'd probably rate it a lot higher if it weren't for the lack of a clearcut resolution at the end. Even the Director's Commentary failed to shed any light on the definitive solution, basically saying it's up to the audience to decide for themselves - acceptable in a more highbrow production but a bit annoying for a film of this level.

Still I've seen a lot worse and it's worth the small change from anyone's pocket!

The British Sci-Fi Channel had been showing the "Sex Files" series of movies late on Saturdays nights and what I'd seen of them hadn't impressed at all. Then "Mr X" came on and blew the previous ones away. It may be low budget but Jennifer Thomas is superbly erotic and the thin storyline makes more sense than what you usually expect from this sort of thing. Some of the walls of the prison cell set seem a bit flimsy and wobbly but with the quality of the female cast on display who really notices?

The only other film in this series worth catching is "The Alien Files" - probably higher budget and with a bigger cast and more varied situations - but still not as hot as Jennifer Thomas granting (or not!) a condemned mans last wish!
