The Seduction of Maxine

This is one of Cinemax's best late night movies. The love scenes are much longer than the average, and the ladies are very attractive. The plot wasn't that great, but the action made up for it. Tera Patrick made the movie for me. Two thumbs up

Let's make this short and sweet. This flick had the cast, plot and potential to be great. It should have been a home run. What went wrong is simple. Most of the sex scenes were just shot poorly. If you have the talents of Tracy Ryan, Tera Patrick, and Monique Parent available for filming then you better be shooting the best camera angles to show off those talents. Tera had one saving scene. The scene that should have stole the movie - with Monique and Tracy in a lesbian frenzy - was so poorly shot that it was hard to tell they were making love. I gave this flick a 2.5 out of 5.

This is a very generic softcore porn movie, as expected. The story was very predictable, but the reason they made this movie was not to have a great storyline, obviously. I admire their attempt, at least. Tracy Ryan, the star of the movie, plays Maxine, some actress who is being stalked. As expected, she gets letters made from newspaper ad lettering saying such things as "You will soon die." The story is somewhat pathetically funny. Fortunately for the movie, Tracy Ryan stars, and she is very fine. However, this is a softcore porn movie, and Tracy barely had any scenes of her "specialty." Secondly, what's the point of watching this movie when she has much better, real movies out there? I recommend checking out some of Tracy's movies where she goes under the name of "Avalon." That's where you'll be getting the good stuff. I give The Seduction of Maxine a 4 out of 10.

Tracy, who goes under the name Tracy Voyek for this movie, leads a beautiful in this spin off of the Bodyguard. With a small budget and production value, the movie falls on the shoulders of Tracy. The story is weak like most soft-core movies that you find at 2 o'clock in the morning of cinemax and showtime. Still, the eye candy is there and Tracy continues to have a strong career as an actress in her genre. Some of the scenes lose its feel with lack of b-role and amateur editing, but the acting holds up as a number of naked women gives its audience what they want to see. Tracy Voyek ends the movie with a decent love scene with some emotion. You do get a decent amount of fake sex with no true grit, still, Tracy manages to dazzle her audience with moments of beauty and quality appeal.

Although the story is far from innovative, and despite the plot is just excuse for showing sex, the script of this softcore thriller was at least able to open the alternatives to different feasible suspects. However, it is a B-film with horrible acting (indeed, famous porn star Tera Patrick has no less acting skills than the rest of the casting). The numerous softcore scenes have also a varied level of success in its quality, both as convincing or not and as mildly exciting or just tedious. The mystery end is quite bad and undeveloped too.
