Un flic sous influence

Great action, wild dialog, hot women, Strip Search is like watching Alice and Wonderland but with sex. The entire approach to the movie is thrilling, everything and everyone is a little off. The dialog is over the top and so is the action. This picture takes a lot of risks and somehow manages to come out on top.

I liked this movie a lot. I like Pam Grier. I like Michael Pare. Caroline Neron is very sexy and exciting. I felt like I went into a world I had never seen before. This cop goes wrong and the whole world he is living in explodes. You don't know which way the story is going to turn until the very end. The action is very exciting.

Sorta like an Elmore Leonard mystery but with the sex turned up.

The movie in general doesn't bottom feed with the worst movies ever made, but if they ever give an anti-Oscar for the worst dialogue ever written, this film gets my Lifetime Achievement Award.

Here's some breakfast pillow-talk: "We didn't go all the way last night, but in a way you left a little bit of yourself inside me, and I think maybe I left a little bit of myself inside of you."

And I left a little bit of myself in the toilet bowl after regurgitating these lines. And those weren't even especially bad ones. The best part is that all the characters talk like this, and almost every line is delivered with this mock-poetic gravitas.

In a perverse way, this film is worth watching if you are a true lover of bad films, because it seems like every line was written by the contestants in that Bulwer-Lytton "Dark and Stormy Night" contest.

Is this the worst movie ever made? No, it's still better than "The Lonely Lady," but it's pretty bad. The most amazing thing about it is the dialogue. It's pseudo-deep, but utterly meaningless. Character A utters an overwrought line that has nothing to do with the plot or current events in the movie. Character B responds with an overwrought line that has nothing to do with anything Character A said. The poor actors torture the lines pathetically in a hopeless attempt to make them sound as if they aren't meaningless, but really deep. I can't imagine how the actors prepared for these roles. "Okay, what's my motivation saying something that makes no sense at all either in terms of my character or the movie at this point?" You can imagine the writer twisting out yet another line of drivel, sitting back and saying, "Damn I'm good." And the director saying, "Look, I know it doesn't make any sense, but try to act like you feel it, okay? You *are* getting a paycheck for this, after all."

This film is a strong candidate to the Ten Worst films in Movie History list.(There are a lot of them running at this time) I quit after seeing thirty minutes of it. It's pretty dangerous seeing such a piece of wasted footage like this. Stupidity is highly contagious as everybody should know.

A labor to watch. Michael Pare has sunk to new lows by accepting a role in this film which offers a cliched script and overwrought acting. The audience can see the supposed twists and turns coming from a mile away. Pare is in definite need of a management switch in order to get his career back on track and doing the quality of work we all know he's capable of.
