Woman of Desire (1994)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Better Late Then Never

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Let me clue all of you imbeciles into the truth.... BO DEREK IS NOT A GODDESS. She has a high forehead, pointy ears, wispy hair, thin lips, and a elongated torso. The only good thing about Bo is her perky boobs which nowadays sag like two grocery store plastic bags filled with dirt.Now for this goofy movie...... it sucks. All this blowhard talk about deceit, greed, and all the rest of that typical garbage. Bo shows up now and then, but she's been better in the past, or at least better-photographed with her glazed eyes and all.Robert Mitchum plays a lawyer, though he sounds like a drunk and looks like a corpse.My rating..... 0, that's ZERO stars.

Woman of Desire (1993)* 1/2 (out of 4) After the success of BASIC INSTINCT erotic-thrillers were turning up every few weeks. They ranged from some good knock-offs to downright horrid pieces of trash. This one here is a pretty bad movie but there are enough campy moments and the cast is attractive enough to make it hard to turn off. Captain Jack Lynch (Jeff Fahey) washes on shore saying that his boss (Steven Bauer) fell overboard during a storm. The boss has a wife (Bo Derek) who claims that Jack shot her husband and then raped her but Jack claims he's innocent and had been carrying on an affair with the wife. If you're looking for an actual plot your not going to find much of one here as there are enough plot holes here that one will question if a few first-graders didn't right this thing. As is to be expected, Derek plays the beautiful blonde who might not be a very good person as she is constantly sleeping with various men and she might have a few reasons as to why she'd want to see her husband dead. It will come as no shock that Derek doesn't give that much of a performance but she certainly looks extremely good here at the age of 37. She's clearly not here for her acting but for her sex appeal and she has quite a bit of that. She has quite a few nude scenes and there's no denying that she looks wonderful and this is the main reason people are going to be checking this out and have been checking it out since it's constant plays on Cinemax throughout the late-night hours. Fahey has always been a favorite of mine and his presence here gave the film some added value even though he's not overly good either. The big shock is that Robert Mitchum plays his lawyer here and actually gets a lot of screen time. This here certainly isn't a classic performance but it was fun seeing him in this type of role and he clearly gives the best performance of the bunch. It's pretty hard to take the film serious because there are just so many bad things. The direction is pretty poor, the music is horrid and even the editing looks very cheap. The dialogue is extremely bad and the courtroom scenes are rather embarrassing. With that said, with Derek looking as great as she does and the other campy values, if you're a fan of bad movies then this one here is worth watching.

Decent production values, decent direction, decent acting. This seems to be a real movie, and not just a soft-core offering. A lot of twists at the end, some I saw coming, and some I didn't. Bo was as beautiful as ever. Grade: C

If you like Bo Derek and you haven't seen this movie, you should. The sex scene on the motorbike is as good as any you will ever see. Bo Derek looks perfect "10" in this movie. Not a good movie considering story or acting. Worth checking out.
