Lust Connection (2005)

Redundant and unnecessary.

Memorable, crazy movie

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Seriously, were you expecting a plot in this soft core movie? No? OK, were you expecting gorgeous women? Yes? OK. There are lots of gorgeous women here. There is also a middle-aged, rather paunchy stud. The women can't act for nuts. Serious emoting is out of question. The sex scenes are also contrived and artificial. The huge boobs on some of the women are so plasticky that one feels like puking. Even the dude knows that squeezing them up a bit during the sex play might rupture the plastic. So he stays clear of them. Stay clear from this movie would be my advice. There are tons of porn floating around in the net, for those with a yen for such things. No need to waste your time, energy and patience on this piece of garbage.

As a fan of softcore, let me tell you --a) unless you are easy to please orb) haven't seen many of these flicksDon't be fooled by all the positive reviews. I like attractive women and big boobs as much as the next guy, but anyone who recommends Lust Connection as a really good T&A flick has set their standards pretty low. While there's definitely a lot of nudity to be found here, the simulated sex scenes get old quick and lack any real heat. I'm rather fond of former Penthouse pet Julie K Smith too and even her appearance is rather forgettable.The story also happens to be cheap and boring much like a zillion other duds. Lust Connection, an erotic thriller? Only if you're brain-dead. Jim Wynorski, the director, king of all things cheap and quick pumps out a product that by nature sells itself, but guys out there can do better. At the very least, Lust Connection could have benefited from a touch more explicitness. Sure, some of the ladies featured look nice and you'll see some recognizable faces, but I expect more nowadays from sitting through a T&A flick and so should you.

I bought this film on DVD.. After watching it, it was alright.. But funny enough though.. this plot is more or less like another film I got on video. I just watched that.. It's called Virtual Desire. In that film you had this guy Brad (Michael Mayer) whose wife's been murdered by a mysterious killer. Although he was the suspect, he had to go through all the women he had affairs with in order to find the killer..In this film, it's the same thing. Rick's wife gets murdered. Rick becomes the suspect. Goes through a list of women in order to find the killer in this one..Well, it was a good film. I liked it because of the women..Jay Robinson is getting old. He should've played as Det. Crank. Anyway, good film. But the same old cliché!Thumbs up!

Before I wrote this review, I had to figure out a quick math problem. I remembered writing in my review for Vamps 2: Blood Sisters about the TWO big reasons I liked Glori-Anne Gilbert's performance. But I enjoyed her performance twice as much in Lust Connection, and I couldn't figure out why. I finally realized why there was a discrepancy. Ms. Gilbert plays two different characters in Lust Connection, and both of them get naked a lot. So I actually had FOUR big reasons to smile. Problem solved.I don't always enjoy erotic thrillers. Most of the time they leave me disappointed. There's too much focus on the erotic scenes, and not enough on the actual "thriller" part of the story. I was somewhat shocked when Lust Connection actually delivered a watchable story to accompany the eroticism! Lust Connection is all about Rick Taylor, an internet millionaire whose incredibly hot wife Susan (Glori Anne Gilbert with blonde hair) is found dead in a hot tub. When he becomes the prime suspect in the murder case, he confesses to the detective that he had been having affairs with women he met on the internet. Rick has a series of flashbacks to these various encounters, trying to find the woman who might have murdered his wife. Susan's twin sister, Jenny (Gilbert again with dark hair), shows up to offer support to Rick.More than anything, this story is about Rick Taylor being the luckiest man alive. Not only does he find plenty of women on the internet willing to meet him for illicit sex, but they are all knockouts! One of them is played by porn superstar Chasey Lain, who is the subject of my favorite song by The Bloodhound Gang.Most of the time these erotic thrillers have to settle for whatever skank actresses they can find to take their clothes off. But the producers of Lust Connection found some mighty fine women for this scorch-fest.Seduction Cinema is releasing three more movies from the director of Lust Connection later this year. I'm really looking forward to the one titled The House on Hooter Hill. I'm ready to give that one five stars simply for the title alone.Don't bother adding Lust Connection to your Netflix queue. Go ahead and buy it. You won't be disappointed as it stands up to repeat viewings, if you get my drift.
