Flesh Is Heir To

It impressed me in this respect: this movie packed more "terrible" into its two-minute trailer than most terrible movies can accomplish in two hours.

And I was barely able to make it through both minutes. My hat is off to anyone who survives 81 of them about this film noir feminist physicist and her bohunk detective sidekick.

At least Adam Braunstein and Brandon J. Shaw are easy to look at.

This movie absolutely has some flaws but hey what movie doesn't?? The most important take away from this film is that it would fail MISERABLY without Heather Michelle's portrayal of Charlie. This is the first I've ever seen her and what a talent!! She is superb and I would absolutely love to see a sequel or spin-off of this where it's ONLY about Charlie. Forget the boring science and annoyances of Cece and just give us a hard hitting, "take no prisoners" film about Charlie... that movie would do amazingly. In all I did enjoy watching the movie but found myself only caring about Charlie from the get go. Definitely worth a watch to witness Ms. Michelle before she explodes into the Star that she already is. I'm giving Charlie the 10 stars here!

Their are two main stars of this movie. One, Charlie, is a singer and detective, int he sense that they have no idea what the police are like and so acts in weird stereotypical TV detective nonsense ways. The other, CeCe, is supposed to be an important physicist, with an even more absurd notion of what a physicist would be. There is crazy woo-woo nonsense that's even more absurd than normal for the New Age crowd that the character accepts uncritically. ("You must have seen another dimension! Because that totally makes sense! And so the guy you saw kill people is in an alternate reality, and you therefore totally have no reason to be worried about this reality's version, honestly!!!") None of this makes a bit of sense, but, to make it worse, they toss in a wildly over the top feminist rant at the exact same time we are showing extended amounts of wildly gratuitous nudity. ("Let's exploit these actresses while we have them preach about not willing to be exploited! We're so smart!") And they toss in a a music video for no reason other than to make viewers think they are cool. This is just awful. Avoid, Not even so bad it's good, just bad.

Good mystery with a very compelling final 1/3 of the movie. Some of the actors were very good, including Heather Michelle and the fellow who played Jordan, but a couple of others gave inconsistent performances.

Found this movie on Prime Video and decided to give it a watch. I really enjoyed it and absolutely understand why so many people have written such wonderful reviews about Heather Michelle's portrayal of Charlie- just WOW. She is phenomenal and absolutely carries this entire film. What a star! (And with a great name ;) I saw some negative reviews over on prime and just don't get it. People, this is an independent film not some Hollywood Oscar buzz movie (which lets be honest 99% of those movies are a snooze fest!) This is a very solid film with an amazing actress at its helm so why don't we all focus on the good rather than always focusing on the bad?

Haters just have nothing better to do, I swear.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what Heather does in the future!
