X: Night of Vengeance

Well well well , i had a couple of choices of movies to watch tonight , and i wanted something different .This is an Australian production. So i decided to pick this movie and watch it . First of all it got the actress Viva Bianca .So if anyone has seen the HBO TV series "Spartacus" , you'd recognize her from there . Without going into too much detail , the plot is about too call-girls(hookers) who meet , by chance(fate) and then they see something which ends up making them go on a roller coaster ride .

For me i enjoyed it , but not thoroughly . Its one of those movie which you are bound to forget soon enough . The acting was alright , and the story it could have been done in a much better way . There was more running around than story telling . However if it wasn't for Viva bianca id probably wouldn't find it so entertaining . The film had a lot of nudity , but not enough of violence or abusive language which normally helps .It started of well , then somewhere in the middle it got lost and the ending came a bit too quick as if the movie was hurried . Overall , id give it a 5 out of 10

(2011) X THRILLER

Co-produced, co-written and directed by Jon Hewitt that has expensive high end escort Holly Rowe (Viva Bianca) offering decent money to young runaway, rookie hooker. Shay Ryan (Hanna Mangan Lawrence)to join her to entertain a client, only then to witness that same client get executed in cold blood, forcing both of them to go on the run. Shay does however build up a rapport with cabbie, Harry(Eamon Farren). Complicating matters is the fact that the person who is chasing them also happens to be a cop named Bennet (Stephen Phillips).

The escort Holly had two opportunities to take advantage of the situation, and to some frustrates some viewers- one during the time when Bennet stopped her at the hotel and then again with the car, which if people were to watch this would know what I Am talking about.

X opens with a young couple having it off in front of a group of middle-aged, upper class women. This gives the impression that we're in for some sort of erotic extravaganza, but hold on...

We are then introduced to two prostitutes, Holly (Viva Bianca), a high-priced call girl, and Shay (Hanna Mangan Lawrence), who is a street walker. Holly and Shay cross paths when their lives become overly complicated in different ways.

It just so happens that Holly needs a third participant for a scheduled threesome, and Shay takes her up on it. Unfortunately, their client isn't just another John, and something happens that results in murder, sending Holly and Shay on the run.

X is less of an "erotic thriller" and more of a straight thriller with prostitutes as its protagonists. As such, it's a head-first dive into the darker side of life. It's not altogether clear if Holly or Shay will survive their ordeal. Don't expect them to be hand-wringing pushovers, though. These are tough women with brains.

X is not at all what was expected, and that's a good thing...

I watched this movie on DVD thinking that it must be rather a complicated drama but the movie turned out to be better than my expectation. Even he reviews were less I thought of writing my own. The movie is basically on the life a small young age brunette who leave her house after her mother dies and get tangled in skin business. The writer and director has really tried hard to show the real life of whores who sell their skin for small bucks and still be competitors of each others. From start to end it holds the audience but the end is rather usual or depict-able. Perhaps it could have been made better. But as an overall I must say a worth watch! Give it a try!

Don't be beguiled by the low IMDb rating. This film has a lot more to offer than viewers seem to allow.

The tag-lines seem to give off a different vibe, making it more sensational; of course, this may be the reason why high expectations come out of the oven flopped. This film is NOT a "Night of Vengeance" - trust me when I say that the whole idea of "avenging" is completely bogus. If anything, it's more a story of two women living on polar-opposite sides of the spectrum, who try to survive and make a life by whatever means they have.

It details their life by a serendipitous encounter, a span of perhaps two-three nights, which builds into a climax. There is a thriller element, but it's not really the central issue. If anything, it's a side-factor which builds onto the story - onto THEIR story.

My advice is to have an open mind and absorb the story - it's not the mainstream plot development, although there is a definite construct evident in it.

Personally, I was more impressed by the cinematography and the editing. Everything felt freshly dynamic. The wild action scenes were cuttingly ragged and energetic, which was highly contrasted against the gorgeously delicate ones. I would give it an 8/10 for the aesthetics alone.

If I had to describe the film in one word, it would be "sensual." Everything about the film, from the audiovisuals (music, ambiance, colours, etc.) to the dialogue stimulates your senses.

Caution: there are a few scenes of explicit nudity and violence, and other provocative scenes which may feel distasteful to the prudent mind. To be frank, I think it lends the film an honesty which is hard to find in motion picture these days. However, if this sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, I would recommend against it.

I hope this helps.
