Alain and Wendy's Barnet boredom in sexual life sexual is cured by one and one only swinging experience, although they enjoyed it very much. It is hard to buy that sudden cure. On the other hand the other couple is portrayed much too shallow and flat. They are yuppies, yet they act more and more retarded towards the end of the film. We never find out what's their real motivation behind their action. Stephen Baldwin acting is great though. All in all the film is formalistic. Plot points are coming one after the other in their desperate attempts to shock the audience. It seems that their only reason is to make everything more interesting - triller like. The ending is very disappointing. Also the moral message of the story is too simple. Either you are white or black. If you're black or just a bit gray you'll pay the price.

At first glance a steamy erotic movie starring Kristy Swanson doesn't really sound all that bad but man was I wrong. Basically, your typical established middle class couple has lost their flame and decide to spice it up with a little swinger action. Everything is great at first and of course the swinger couple they meet (Baldwin and Swanson) turns out to be a couple of grade-A psychos that wont go away. Now this isn't that bad of a plot to go on because it's a couple not just one person involved in the psychotically-in-love-with-you storyline. It's a bit of a twist on an overused tale but not nearly enough to save this film becoming a one copy rental at your local blockbuster.So the final verdict on this movie is that it's just flat out bad. They obviously spent all their money on Baldwin and Swanson because all the other actors in this movie belong in college theatre. Regardless of the low level acting skills none of the characters are believable anyway. The first married couple look too much like wholesome suburbanites and the swingers look too much like well a sleazy swinger couple. That sort of thing. In all honesty this movie isn't even really worth reviewing this in depth. In all probability the only reason anyone would watch this movie is for the abundance of stale unrealistic sex scenes. Being a guy myself I can assure you that they aren't even worth it.P.S All you Kristy Swanson fans hoping to maybe see a little something in this flick, you wont. She somehow manages to keep her clothes halfway on through 3-4 sex scenes.

Carnal obsession is a subject that if treated as a serious subject matter can generate some truly inspired films.This, unfortunately, is not one of them. A premise that in essence is intriguing -- a couple decide to spice up their lives and contact another couple who introduce them to the lives of swingers and get more than they bargained for -- collapses into an incomprehensible mess that's supposedly a "thriller," maybe because Stephen Baldwin portrays a character who's a psycho for no other reason than the script makes him as such and in one scene kills someone while uttering smug lines a la Jack Nicholson (Why? Well, in a "thriller" there's always a murder, right?).Blame it on the screenwriter for having seen too many "Cinemax After Dark" films and trying to make some sense out of beautiful bodies having sex for no other reason than to expose flesh and toned bodies. This is exactly how this movie feels like, with the added notion that swingers are predatory and will disrupt your life in implausible ways. There's not an ounce of believability to this story, character motivations, or actions. Situations are allowed to escalate to a level that is virtually impossible any way you look at it. The dialog that Baldwin has to utter is outrageously bad: "Come on guys..." "Hey guys..." seems to be all he is allowed to say (which brings to mind the language of characters in cheap men's magazines) while preening his teeth, squinting his eyes, and looking almost pretty. No one else registers, so why even bother.It's just sad that the term "erotic thriller" has to be reduced to utter silliness and the requisite violence. For a real erotic movie, go see PERSONA or DAMAGE. This one? Pass.

My wife and I watched this last night. All in all it is a good movie.You do get to see more flesh than previously mentioned. Brandy Ledford shows off what she has got, but she is the only one. However, she is hot enough to save the movie if that is what you are looking for. You see a lot more than her 3 seconds in Demolition Man ("Oops wrong number" scene)Yes this is Fatal Attraction for swingers. Stephen Baldwin is about as good as he was in Sliver, if that says anything.I would never buy this movie, but my wife and I agrees that next time it is on HBO, we will do our best to tape it.
