I agree with Matt below that this is one of the better soft core films. I'm glad to see that Amber Newman is appearing more frequently on these late night epics. She is one hot number and some of the scenes do approach hardcore porn levels (especially the lesbian action).

Cinemax is a great T&A channel but you have to keep your eye out for the other pay channels such as Showtime and HBO.

"Sin In The City" is the first movie I've seen where Amber Newman is the lead female, and she does a great job here.

Let's dwell briefly on the story. Amber plays a call girl who is trying to leave her "manager", a well-to-do "businessman" with connections to the mob. A guy enters the picture to take her out of this life, and of course they sleep together a couple of times.

There's so much sex in this movie that has NOTHING to do with the story, it's unreal. Is this supposed to be a regular porno, or a softcore/erotica/Cinemax-type movie? Eh, who cares. Along with Amber, there's plenty of other women you've probably seen before. (Just like hardcore porn, softcore porn has its own group of women who bounce from movie to movie)

There's a lot to like about "Sin In The City" in terms of women and sex, but the story is lacking quite a bit. Amber's performance, however, is quite remarkable when you figure in the horrible script.

Women: A+ Sex: A Story: C+ Overall: A-

It was nice to see some eye-candy for us girls for a change. Usually the guys in these movies look like buffed up nerds, or the hairy guys you used to avoid making eye contact with in the high school cafeteria. I know the guys will disagree, but Jarod Carey is actually the main character and carries almost all the action. (Thankfully). Never fear, there are plenty of babes for the guys.

In a risky move, we see him as an anti-hero. This is not only refreshing, but to my somewhat limited memory, it's the first time I've seen this in this genre.

The plot is a little choppy; like they started out with one story, then changed to another and added some new scenes. However, it moves quickly and keeps you interested. There is an unreasonable amount of sex, but this is, after all, what these movies are all about and watching Jarod Carey is a pleasure. He is a bit stiff (no pun intended) most of the time, but every now a then you see actual acting talent. When it's "working for him", he has a comfortable & casual manner and completely carries the scene. I suspect these are the scenes they started with, and the ones where he appears to be just trying to get through the scene, are the ones they added later. Still, it's not so painful that he looses you, and I find myself looking for other films he has appeared in. Beware; this is one of his most recent and after seeing some of the others I can tell you he is a self-taught actor and has improved greatly with experience.

All things considered, If you're looking for one of these types of movies, this is the only one I would suggest above any of the others, therefore I have to give it an "A" overall.
