Body of Sin

It was a pleasant surprise to watch this movie. I like it, there are a bunch of young actors with a good prospect. I especially like the "bad", Riccardo Berdini, just great in his role. Go and watch it.

The main character Erica was mesmerizing and watching her carry the film and looking at her exotic face and dark eyes a delight, you can tell she had fun doing in what she was doing.

The acting of all characters had a lot to be desired and had the wrong rhythm. The script kept the movie going with its unforseen plot turns and the background had too much clouded days and the coloring of the movie was too bleak but just decent enough for a TV movie. The couple that directed this movie deserve a second chance as they were real close too a cinematic hit, and I have never seen another film of them before. Rod Spence needs to keep writing as is doing. The failure lay entirely in the unconvincing acting.

When it comes to crime thriller genre I am a tough judge to please. When I came across this tittle with the Indian actress Elisha Kriis playing the character of a con artist, Erica Tate, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. To my surprise I honestly did like the movie. It's no nonsense screenplay kept me engaged till the very end. I did come across couple cliches but they didn't bother since the movie didn't linger too much on its faults. The most endearing part of the film was Elisha's performance as a con artist. It was so easy to go wrong given the storyline but she kept it realistic, simple and believable. Ellie Patrikios as Lauren Haley, William Mark McCullough as Deputy Mike, Ricardo Berdini as Tom and Danny Arroyo as Purcell gave a well rounded performance as well. The movie was well shot and beautiful island imagery was pleasing to the eye. Refreshing and fun to watch.

I love this genre. Good story, good looking girls, cool moments, beautiful locations, some decent plot twists. All actors did a good job (unexpectedly). Elisha Kriis and Ricardo Berdini my favorite. Overall I enjoyed it.

At first I thought it was going to be silly but watched it with my friends and WE LOVED it!! The new girl Elisha Kriis who played Erica Tate did a marvelous job. The two together were the perfect hint of sweet and spicy for a contemporary thriller like this. It was engaging, lively and thoroughly entertaining.
