Forbidden (2002)

Fresh and Exciting

Admirable film.

A lot of fun.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Taken in context of its genre, this is one of the best "straight to video, soft core" movies I've ever seen. Renee Rea is frankly stunning and the rest of the cast was surprisingly good all around. Yes, typically these movies are just a collection of sex scenes loosely tied together by a weak plot line but this movie actually has an interesting premise, well written scenes with good production values and performances in which the actors all seemed very natural. And honestly, the sex scenes are HOT! Which is really kinda important in this type of movie. Academy award winner? No. But again, compared to others of its type, top notch.

This review contains spoilers.Forbidden is a softcore film that gets praised a lot as one of the "must haves", but it's difficult to find a copy. I didn't think that the film lived up to all the hype, but it is still a good softcore film and a worthwhile purchase.The movie gets off to a great start. There are a couple of scenes from a bachelor party where two strippers show off their beautiful bodies. This is followed by three boy/girl scenes and one boy/girl/girl shower scene. At this point, you're just short of the halfway point in the film. However, instead of keeping the momentum going, the film stumbles at this point. There are only two more full sex scenes for the rest of the film. There's still a lot of nudity and some "sort of" sex scenes, but none of it generates much heat.So you end up with six scenes. All of them are good, and two of them are fantastic. There's some interesting locations, good camera work, very explicit shots, and the actors and actresses are always audible.There are two women who are the focus of most of the movie (Tracy and Renee). Both are beautiful and give great performances. There are three more women, who are all also beautiful, but we only see them briefly.This thing could have been really great. It only runs for 83 minutes. All the "sort of" scenes could have been developed into full sex scenes and the film still would have come in at only 90 minutes. I would have liked to see better use of the other women.This is good, but there are many other softcore films out there that are better, and easier to acquire.

As everyone else has mentioned it makes a nice change watching a soft core porn film that seems silicone free , but as with all these type of movies there`s not much of a story involvedThe only outstanding thing about FORBIDDEN is the presence of Renee Rea . It sounds really weird but Ms Rea face wise resembles a slightly chubbier slightly older Britney Spears . See this movie if you don`t believe me

Watched the flick on Cable. I thought I was OK. Not the best but still better than A LOT better than many other late night flicks I have watched. As another messenger noted, the sex scenes were great. The acting was better than fair.. Picture overall was great for what it was. I don't think I would pay to see it in the theaters...lol...however, it did what it needed to do for me.
