Risque Charnel

Yes, this softcore flick has lots of drama, and also lots of naked girls, which is of course why people like it.

A couple risks everything on a "can't miss horse" and of course it misses. The problem is they risked more than they actually could pay, then duck the meeting to pay off the bet through their friend. It gets him killed.

In the meantime, Tane McClure for some unknown reason gets the hots for the man and keeps making better and better offers for him to sleep with her.

She has a secret, and it involves the murderous bookie who also seems to be out after him. In the meantime, will his excuses to Gabriella Hall hold up? Thankfully, she finds her OWN action. ;-)

As standard direct-to-video erotica goes, this film isn't bad, but remember, these films aren't about the plot or the acting, but about the flesh. Let's face it, if you're truly looking for a good movie, then you KNOW from the title that this isn't likely to be the answer. So a movie like this comes down to what you think of the appearance of the female leads (sexist, but true). For me, Tane McClure looked old and tired and plastic, just like she always does. But Gabriella Hall made the movie bearable, for she is simply drop-dead gorgeous, with a stunning body and a face to match. I'd apologize for the superficial review, but that's what these movies are all about. They're all about liking what you see, since the writing is rarely good enough for you to like what you hear.

Is what you say to your wife after she's catches you humping a busty blonde, right? A lot of guys are willing to put up with a poor story in a T&A flick if it means getting the goods. Once upon a time I would have agreed, but we're not limited to erotic thrillers nowadays. However let it be said 'Sexual Roulette' has a healthy quota of it's main draw.

LA couple Jed and Sally (Tim Abell, Gabriella Hall) have a sexy trip to Vegas on the eve of a big deal. However when they get back to town it's gone south. A local bartender at a strip club tells them about a sure thing on a horse race. Returning to Vegas, they bet 30k they don't have and naturally it goes bad. Enter Sherry (Tane McClure) as a seemly rich & mysterious lady who offers to settle the debt if Jed will sleep with her a la 'Indecent Proposal'.

Resist questioning certain elements or choices made. For the first half, Hall carries the nudity although there's that strip club scene. From the same makers of 'Illicit Dreams 2' allows reused footage of McClure and Abell getting it on in fantasies. Then McClure has her moment to shine as does the wife once more near the end. Nice shot of her butt as thong panties come off.

If this genre still floats your boat you'll be happy with 'Sexual Roulette'. Tane McClure does a good job playing damaged women, Hall is certainly attractive, but the tale being spun is equal parts silly & stupid. However as another reviewer said you can't be shocked with a title like this.

I bought this film on DVD from the pound shop for, yes, one WHOLE English pound. I was drawn into making the purchase due to the pictures of naked women on the back and thought the film would be good for a laugh with my mates. I was right. "Sexual Roulette" makes the film sounds rather intriguing, but the version I bought was under the alternate title "weekend in Vegas" which is I feel rather dull in comparison, but for a pound I wasn't going to complain. The film itself contains some awful performances from the actors and actresses involved, the best among them is probably the Michael Douglas-esqe (well he looks a bit like him here) lead character of Jed played by Tim Abell, who goes from angry, to horny, to angry/horny all within a few moments. The plot is a bit "indecent proposal" type and has plenty of poorly filmed sex scenes, but the most annoying thing is that the whole film is just clogged up with pointless shots of Las Vegas, the same ones repeated over and over again!! it seems to me like they finished the film and it only ended up at around 40 minutes long so they just got some aerial shots of the strip to fill the gaps. There is some far fetched storyline about debt and some people get killed but this is just a low budget film which is good for a laugh at its expense. I recommend this film be watched whilst drunk. I think there a load of copies left at the pound shop....

Any time a film or show takes place in Las Vegas, it gets extra points from me. Las Vegas the city steals the show because it is a truly glamorous place to behold. It's also the setting for this low budget spin on the film Robert Redford wished he'd never have been in, Indecent Proposal.

Tim Abell and Gabriella Hall play a married couple from L.A. who frequent Vegas often. Apparently, they've never had much luck, but they survive. One day, a script that Jed Wills had written and was expecting to be paid for is cancelled, and they are broke. Then a friend offers to let them into a safe bet to double their money in a horse bet, they decide to bet money (even increasing the bet) they don't have, thinking it's a sure thing, but they lose, and now they need to find the money or there's going to be trouble. They somehow get a cash advance and try to play roulette for the money, but it fails. Then Jed meets up with a mysterious woman played by Tane McClure who promises to cover their bet if he does some things for him, and that's when the movie becomes just like Indecent Proposal.

The acting is here is pretty good for a drama, but the sex scenes aren't very good. Tane McClure did tighten her buns, but she's pretty stiff. As for Gabriella Hall, she was alright, but she's nothing mind-blowing, although I did like her in Centerfold. Tim Abell has an attitude throughout the film. I did love the twists and turns, and especially the ending, though. I was cheering for it. The reason I liked this film was Vegas. The mindblowing scenery just makes me want to return there and walk in the neon glow.
