Sexy da morire

The reason Shannon Tweed no longer appears nude in films is because she no longer looks good nude. The reason for that is simple: she is 43 in this movie (48, almost 49 at this writing) and showing her age. Actually, she looks older than 43. She looks grim, hard, and beat-up. These girls (strippers, soft-core porn workers) apparently don't age well, and Tweed is no exception. The problem isn't that she doesn't appear nude here (I am grateful that she doesn't. One look at her clothed and you know you do not want to see her naked), it's that this is just a bad movie.

Tweed is not a good actress and cannot convince us she is a cop. The writing is weak, the characters stereotypes, and the storyline is threadbare. Movies like this are not supposed to be good anyway, but when they try to be, in between sex scenes, it's ludicrous. Stilted dialogue, awkward direction, poor editing, bad acting, this film has them all. There aren't enough sex scenes (with younger, better-looking women than Tweed) to justify renting this.

Shannon Tweed strikes again in this thriller about the murders of high-priced escorts. She is the cop on the case, and begins getting an itch south of the navel for her prime suspect (John Enos). The red herrings are laughably obvious and the several sex scenes are all exactly the same (woman on top with lots of jumping and shouting). Even worse, Tweed opts this time to use a body double. This is a movie that fails to satisfy on just about every level.

For me to write a bad revue of a Shannon Tweed's movie,has to be very bad.I've been following Shannon's movie progress since the first one she made wich I own.In this movie wich she is the star was a blow for me because when you see Shannon's name it means nudity and sexy scenes,but in this one she does not carry the movie as the star.Every girl that appear in this so call movie is naked,except Shannon Tweed the Star.Why did she follow that route after establishing her name in those so call erotic thriller is beyond me.I love Shannon's work most of the time.She is not a great actress but she is a good one.When I bought this movie, since Shannon Tweed was the star I was expecting the same kind of good work like she did before.Not this time,not even close.Lots of shots of her face and legs,one sex scene and she use a body double.I'm Canadian like she is.I really hope she won't finish a good stack of work on this note.When I bought Shannon's movie I knew I would get beauty ,sensuality and good acting.It is sad for me to distrust an actress that I use to love and trust in her work.So so sad to end that way.

"Dead Sexy" is as far as I remember Shannon Tweed's last soft core sex movie. The truth is that the plot is kind of entertaining but the sex scenes truly let me down.

It's rumored that Shannon used a body double in her only sex scene which is by far, the worst she has done. It's like a copy of her infamous "Singapore Sling" sex scene but this time, with minimal sleaze or anything.

The other women, apart from Shannon, are really hot! Specially Holly Sampson, Mary Shannon, and the always sexy Nancy Vee. Unfortunately, their sex scenes aren't as steamy as expected.

Stay away from "Dead Sexy" because if you are looking for sex it will let you down.

I really tried to like this one and after the opening sequence which features a sex scene, I thought this was going to be good... sadly, it didn't. Among Tweed's worst if not the worst of them all.

Let's face it, Shannon Tweed is not a great (or even necessarily a good) actress. The title says it all: It's another example of Tweed's stock in trade: The grade-C erotic thriller in which she packs a piece---always a big phallic firearm---and then gets the hots for another kind of piece, and eventually takes her clothes off. Everything else is just an attention-getting device to keep you watching between the sex scenes. Even if you cheerfully accept these limitations, this turkey is a cynical cheat on the viewer. Tweed was 43 when she made this movie, and like Renee Russo, she has a fabulous body for her age, but it is still a fabulous 43-year-old body. So if you're an over-40 former Playmate who insists on making movies with nude sex scenes, either be honest, like Helen Mirren, and do them yourself or quit the business. Don't use a body double, which she so blatantly does in this flick. If the number of porn sites on the Web featuring over-35 "hotties" is any indication, there's a market for films with middle-aged women who get naked.

The bad guy, John Enos, has one of the least photogenic screen personas I've ever seen. He elicits no cinematic interest whatsoever and he and Tweed have essentially no on-screen chemistry. They are just going through the motions. Why anyone would think the Tweed character would develop an itchy-koo for him is beyond me, except that Enos, although not really that similar in features to Tweed's squeeze Gene Simmons, somewhat resembles him in physique and complexion. Maybe that's why Tweed chose Enos. Whether he resembles Simmons in other ways is something I have no idea about. (Let's not even get into Gene Simmons's public persona and what it says about Tweed's taste in men that she has been with him for years.) And it's somehow oddly appropriate, considering this movie, that in the IMDb photo galleries, Enos is seen accompanied by Traci Lords.

This flick is strictly desperation time.
