Andre Schneider rather stands out in an ensemblecast who takes themselves and the matterthey're talking about way too serious.What could've been a rather niece piece of trash or even a cute little "Basic Instinct"- homage comes down extremely heavy and after a splendid interrogation scene it quickly runs a little bit out of focus and wants to be so much more... Even the sex-scenes are not that bad, but the actors are in desperate need to lighten up and when Ivy Poll mumbles "I'm just getting moist again"one wonders if she had ever been in the first place...

the sexy guy from Colgado de la luna and La Silla, andre schneider, wrote, produced and starred in this dark fairytale of a drug habit that becomes an obsession. the title rang my bell. wasn't that an infamous internet hoax a couple of years ago? schneider was falsely blamed for it, and his career was almost over. now he got it made, ij. biermann directed it, and this year, he showed it audiences in Madrid. the audience liked it, but I am unsure to this day. the plot was intriguing, but the way it was told was too much for me: too much sex, too many drugs, too gory, too much blood. still, there were some good ideas in it and the dialogue was fine. meanwhile, schneider did good in some smaller parts in Spanish low budget movies, so he doesn't need to bother how this cheap little cult trash porn is received. barbara kowa deserves a special mention, her powerful appearance lifts the movie's value up, up, up.

I like dark movies. I like porn. I thought "Deed Poll" was a good combination. It was. A hustler's getting killed for sexual stimulation.Pro: André Schneider's fine performance gave me the chills and Rainer-Maria Wittenauer was pure eye-candy. The fact that we get to see an erection a great bonus. The cameraman did a good job. The whole thing is well-written.Contra: Barbara Kowa's overacting annoyed me. She's wearing a terrible wig and is hysterical throughout the movie. The whole Ivy character is horrible! The sound quality is poor, poor, poor! Why couldn't they afford a better sound system?All in all: a good movie, made under very bad circumstances, with a great plot, a good ending, and a bad leading lady.

"Deed Poll" is the movie to prove that Barbara Kowa is the next Sharon Stone. Her sexy performance reminded me of Stone's performance in "Basic Instinct".Like Catherine Tramell, Ivy Poll is a deeply disturbed and dangerous character: sad and vulnerable, yet deadly. After she had killed both her parents ("I was following an impulse!"), she and her brother hire a call-boy to celebrate their re-gained freedom. As the bisexual S&M sex games progress, more and more drugs are taken, and the call-boy finally sheds his skin.After sitting through this dark and moody little shocker, I listened to Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin" all night long.Unfortunately, "Deed Poll" is hard to find, but if you get your hands on it, you will surely enjoy it. In about ten years, this will be a cult film, just like "Se7en".
