A Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) Movie Review


CUT

Reviewed by SG


I just returned from a long vacation--traveling in Europe, Asia and the Caribbean--to find the CUT movie in my pile of mails. I quickly skimmed the movie, and am already convinced it's worth the wait and paying for it twice. I am not good enough a writer to attempt to write an official review. But here is my first impressions, and as I watch the movie more closely I will share more thoughts with GIMPers.

First and foremost, Angie is gorgeous and an excellent actress. In addition to being able to convey pain and hopelessness, she seems to excel at expressing fear. The ability to show complex emotions is a mark of a true actress.

And then, knife play is a big turn on for me, and this movie is all about cutting. For those who is sheepish about blood and gore, don't worry, it has just enough blood to get you excited, but not to upset you. The cutting sequence seems to span at least half of the movie with Angie tied up AOH, and wearing nothing but flesh-toned bra and panties, which gives a good illusion of being completely naked. The thing that really impresses me is that, the filmmakers seem to be able to tell a good story with all this cutting, and at the same time you don't feel interrupted from the action, as you would watching other B movies when they try to tell a story.

The only peeve I have is that during the first half of the movie before the cutting begin, they could have tried a variety of torture (or even rape) scenarios. The one thing they tried was the electro-torture scene discussed in the earlier posts. Although Angie did a good job, the set up is unconvincing. She was supposed to get tired holding her feet, which were wired to a car battery, above a bucket of water. But, it was obvious that nothing in the way she was bound to the chair would have prevented her from finding a more comfortable position. A much better sequence would have been some struggle, slapping and hitting. And, perhaps rape. And, I bet Angie would have pull those more ambitious plot off with flying colors. As it is, they've under-utilized Angie’s talent.

In any event, it appears that my "Grand Tour" vacation is extending to the dark side.
