Dangerous Touch (1994)

Dreadfully Boring

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Blistering performances.

Half of the movie is sex and nudity. Maybe you should just watch an adult film instead. The story wasn't so bad though I guess. It is about a sexually promiscuous woman, who goes into the wrong hands of a man named Mike. I think Mike was a miscast. Mike should be someone who is suave, devilishly handsome, charismatic... The actor does not really fit that role. I can see Kate Vernon sleeping with him once maybe, but I don't see her being enamored by him and following his every word. Secondly, the ending made it seem like Mike's blackmail of Kate Vernon was a waste of time, which made me wonder what the point of all his hard work was. Thirdly, I don't know how Mike found out who her patients were. Overall, the story is kind of hard to believe. It just seemed like a stupid plan all along. Mike is going to have sex with this woman to blackmail her, just so that he can have her record her criminal patient talk so that Mike can take him out? Seems like he could've made a better plan. And just to end up with Kate Vernon's character not following through with the plan. What a letdown! Still, it keeps you interested till the end and that's good.

Kate Vernon does a good job in this movie, especially given what she had to work with. Lou Diamond Phillips is so mis-cast it is ludicrous. His role needed someone that could pull off being smooth, suave and sophisticated enough to seduce a woman of Vernon's stature. He just doesn't have it. A pierce Brosnan or Hugh Jackman would have been much better. I give Vernon extra credit for great acting opposite a 'Neanderthal' Phillips. Of course this is just my opinion. After viewing over 6374 movies in my lifetime, I feel it is a valid opinion.

Sure Dangerous Touch is a cheap rountine erotic thriller but it still enaterains. Lou Diamond Phillps makes a good directioal debut and by my count there are six steamy sex scenes three of which show the sexy Kate Vernon nude. The scene between Monique Parent &Veron is worth the rental alone.

Dangerous Touch can be summed up as follows: Dean Wormer's kid has grown up into a radio psychologist. Richie Valens seduces her for only one reason - to blackmail her into giving up some privileged patient information that will enable him to eliminate WoJo, who plays a powerful crime boss that cost Richie Valens three years in the hoosegow. She won't play along, so all the gangsters start messing each other over and messing her over, and Richie Valens even has to battle the Wishmaster at one point.Anyway, the flick fulfills both halves of its erotic thriller responsibilities. The erotica is fairly hot action among recognizable people, and the movie has enough twists and turns that I watched it at regular speed and was never tempted to fast forward to the next sex scene. Richie Valens actually directed and wrote it as well! A real Orson Welles, that boy. Well, it really isn't half bad. It's not Casablanca, but Richie did was he was supposed to do for the genre. He did a lot better than Ponyboy did wearing the same three hats for "Hourglass". Unfortunately, I had to bump it down mentally to no stars because Richie never sang "La Bamba", WoJo never had coffee with Fish, Wishmaster never granted one twisted wish, and Wormer's kid never took the Deltas off double secret probation.
