D.R.E.A.M. Team

Somewhere between "Charlie's Angels" and a PG-13 (IMDb says it was rated R, but I can't imagine why) version of the Andy Sidaris "Bullets, Bombs and Babes" films, lies the "D.R.E.A.M Team".

The good points:

a) Angie Everhart, Traci Bingham and Eva Halina are all knockouts, easily as sexy as the three women who played Charlie's Angels in the 2000 and 2003 big-budget movies, if not more so.

b) Traci Lords is a perfect fit for the role of the bad girl.

c) There are some impressive stunts.

d) The locations (mostly Puerto Rico) are attractive.

e) For what seems to be a pilot for a TV series of the same name, this has a reasonably slick look.

The bad points:

a) The middle section is VERY SLOW, and has almost no action. Seeing the ladies in swimsuits is nice, but not enough to sustain interest for nearly an hour.

b) The long-anticipated fight scene between Angie Everhart and Traci Lords is strictly mediocre.

c) Bingham and Halina do next-to-nothing when it comes to action. We rarely get the chance to see the girls work as a team, as the title promises.

Overall, this is something of a disappointment, but if the TV series ever became available on DVD I'd be interested enough to check out a couple of episodes.

** out of 4.

Yowsa! If you REALLY want some ACTION, check out the babes and bombs on this non-stop thriller! Veteran star MARTIN SHEEN leads a trio of supermodels on a mission to stop nuclear terrorism... but director Dean Hamilton doesn't let this heavy plotline get in the way of massive doses of TEENSY-SWIMSUIT scenes, jiggly beach jogs, hubba-hubba hot tubs and the like! Want action? You'll get more of it here than in PEARL HARBOR. Want babes? You'll get an eyeful every two minutes. Want more? Go out and BUY THIS VIDEO! Yowsa, Yowsa, Yowsa! That's some mighty spicy meatballs!!!

It's a good movie maybe I like it because it was filmed here in PR. The actors did a good performance and not only did the girls be girlish but they were good in fighting so it was awsome! The guy is cute too so it's a good match if you want to the guy or the girls.

A thin story with many fine shots. Eyecatchers here are the three ladies from the D.R.E.A.M. team. And, to a lesser extent, the guy accompanying them. Traci Lords convincingly acts out the female half of an evil business-couple intending to poison the world with antrax. Original in this movie is the bra-bomb, put on a captured member of the D.R.E.A.M.-team. Of course she is rescued by a co-member, three seconds before explosion. Although clearly lent from James Bond's 'Goldfinger' and 'You only live twice', such a climax always works well. All in all a nice watch, James Bond replaced here by three Charlie's Angels.
