Dead Sexy (2001)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Memorable, crazy movie

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

"Dead Sexy" is as far as I remember Shannon Tweed's last soft core sex movie. The truth is that the plot is kind of entertaining but the sex scenes truly let me down.It's rumored that Shannon used a body double in her only sex scene which is by far, the worst she has done. It's like a copy of her infamous "Singapore Sling" sex scene but this time, with minimal sleaze or anything.The other women, apart from Shannon, are really hot! Specially Holly Sampson, Mary Shannon, and the always sexy Nancy Vee. Unfortunately, their sex scenes aren't as steamy as expected.Stay away from "Dead Sexy" because if you are looking for sex it will let you down.I really tried to like this one and after the opening sequence which features a sex scene, I thought this was going to be good... sadly, it didn't. Among Tweed's worst if not the worst of them all.

The reason Shannon Tweed no longer appears nude in films is because she no longer looks good nude. The reason for that is simple: she is 43 in this movie (48, almost 49 at this writing) and showing her age. Actually, she looks older than 43. She looks grim, hard, and beat-up. These girls (strippers, soft-core porn workers) apparently don't age well, and Tweed is no exception. The problem isn't that she doesn't appear nude here (I am grateful that she doesn't. One look at her clothed and you know you do not want to see her naked), it's that this is just a bad movie.Tweed is not a good actress and cannot convince us she is a cop. The writing is weak, the characters stereotypes, and the storyline is threadbare. Movies like this are not supposed to be good anyway, but when they try to be, in between sex scenes, it's ludicrous. Stilted dialogue, awkward direction, poor editing, bad acting, this film has them all. There aren't enough sex scenes (with younger, better-looking women than Tweed) to justify renting this.

I saw this flick quite a while ago. First thing I did was buy it for my own personal collection. I really enjoy crime movies, action flicks & thrillers. Dead Sexy has all three ingredients. Although I like Shannon Tweed movies, my very favorite actor is John Enos who played Blue. John has such a great presence. You can't wait to see what he will do next. Till the very end, I kinda thought he might be the murderer, but he wasn't. John can wear clothes like no other. Loved the black suit, black shirt & blue satin tie. He's a walking fashion ad, and with his boyish charm, who wouldn't be attracted to Blue as was Grace as the cop? I got suspicious of Rickles the minute he broke into Grace's house. The only thing I had trouble figuring out was WHY Blue made her wait till he had a lap dance? Perhaps to warm her up? My first reaction would've been to walk out & leave him there...but, since he was paying Grace five thousand for the company, she didn't have much choice but to put up with it...afterall he was under the impression that she was an upscale hooker. I loved it. Thought it was suspenseful, & enjoyed the storyline. Hope to see MUCH more of John Enos in better & better roles. This guy has talent, let's not hide it under a basket. He's great looking, has a calmness about him even an innocence, and when he walks, he like glides, love his demeanor. Would love to see John Enos in his own series & other movies ONSCREEN anytime SOON. Already saw Phone Booth, another of his credits and can't wait to see his next project.

Shannon Tweed strikes again in this thriller about the murders of high-priced escorts. She is the cop on the case, and begins getting an itch south of the navel for her prime suspect (John Enos). The red herrings are laughably obvious and the several sex scenes are all exactly the same (woman on top with lots of jumping and shouting). Even worse, Tweed opts this time to use a body double. This is a movie that fails to satisfy on just about every level.
