Os Segredos da Noite

I sat down with my dinner and no expectation as I watched this movie, and I was sorely disappointed by one of the former two.

This movie might have had a promising script on paper, but it translated poorly onto the screen. There was a serious lack of coherency throughout this movie. Just too many things didn't really add up and wouldn't have played out the way they did in the movie.

Anyway, as for the acting, well actually here there was a surprisingly nice job being done. I think the only face I recognized here was Linden Ashby. But regardless of known or unknown talents, the performances of the actors and actresses in "Stripped Naked" was believable and good. Even the lizard did a good job! haha...

I think this movie is supposed to be a thriller / suspense type of movie, but it fails horribly at such.

This movie failed to have me entertained, but still I managed to sit through the entire length. This is not the type of movie that I would recommend you watch, unless you have to kill time and have absolutely nothing else to watch or do.

Because of an argument, "Cassie" (Sarah Allen) is forced to get out of the car that her boyfriend "Jack" (John Cor) is driving and is left alone on the side of the road. After walking a little bit she comes across a man in a pickup truck and asks to use his cellphone. He tells her to quickly get into the truck and hide just as another car with 2 other men comes driving up. When the drug deal he was having goes bad she is left with 3 dead bodies on the side of the road, the pickup truck, $90,000 in cash and a bag of crystal meth worth about another $90,000. Recognizing that this is her big chance she drives off. Unfortunately, there are other people who are also interested in the money who don't necessarily believe she should have it all to herself. Anyway, rather than spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a surprisingly good film. It had drama, humor and a pretty good supporting cast who all performed in a decent manner all around. I especially liked the performance of Linden Ashby who played the part of the bar owner named "Howie Preston". It also has a slightly surprising twist at the end which I thought was also good. In short, this film might not suit everybody's taste but if you like a good drug caper gone wrong then you might enjoy this film.

Strong start. Good acting. Plot twists and surprises. Compelling. Turns into an almost comedic mess. Reminded me of Concrete Blondes.

Seeing this was better than seeing a bunch of other low budget movies.

There was even somewhat of a story that was entertaining.

Most of the cast was well cast and while this wasn't the best film made, there was still enough interest to be captivating enough not to be a bore and not to be too cheap on the budget that it had.

Filmed in Ottawa, Ontario and made to be in Ohio or around there didn't make any sense, as there was no reason for it to be called anything other than Ottawa, the city was unimportant.

I was really looking forward to see the stripper chick get pshyco with a gun, but that doesn't come to be.

Some characters were flat, but for a freebie, I didn't complain.

Okay, not so good reviews yet...

Eccept for the terrible, terrible music and sounds, this move totally outclasses the Hollywood movie productions.

There is no special effects or over anticipated celebrities contaminating the movie. This makes it a rarity these days.

You get into the story right away and the plot goes on, combining some action and drama in a regular small town setting.

Drawbacks, the music... like a porno o something...

Worth watching, but get a copy with subtitles and turn the volume down...
