Unfinished Business Review
|
Unfinished Business Review Directed by Brad Armstrong. Released by Wicked Pictures in 2011. Runtime: 76 minutes. (Softcore version.) Note: the Japanese title varies from the U.S. title. This is presumably an x-rated sequel to the film Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise. In this movie, Joel (Kris Slater) is now at college when he reconnects with Lana (Kirsten Price), who inspires him to become a again. However, his actions draw the attention of the dean (Randy Spears), and he is in jeopardy of being discovered selling sex on campus. Characters Vickie, Guido, and Jackie also reappear. This story lacks tension and suspense found in the original. It's not particularly dramatic, but there have been far worse stories in x-rated movies. Story Grade: B-. This was presumably shot on digital video. Medium Grade: B+. The school location appeared to be the same location used for the hospital in Malice in LaLaLand. Bedroom and dorm room sets were somewhat sparsely decorated. The Wicked Pictures posters on the wall were shameless self-promotion. Set Design Grade: B+. The Japanese market version of this movie is softcore, so no genitalia is shown. Kris Slater seemed to not know where to look at times. Otherwise, the sex looked pretty good. Sexual Performances Grade: B+. Line deliveries could have used some work. Kris Slater was the weakest of the ensemble, which is unfortunate since he plays the lead character. Randy Spears as the dean was the best actor of the cast. The driving scene was obviously fake. Acting Grade: C. Kris Slater's wardrobe was ill-fitting. Perhaps another actor had been cast and had to drop out at the last minute. The movie featured a Chicago police car, but the officer was wearing an LAPD-style badge. (Didn't Joel get accepted to Princeton? That's in neither city.) Wardrobe/Make- Grade: B. There was nothing particularly outstanding or distracting about the lighting. Lighting Grade: A-. Music played throughout the sex scenes. Having watched this after Malice in LaLaLand, the music just seemed somewhat stale. It also pales in comparison the Tangerine Dream score found in Risky Business. Sound Grade: B-. Brad Armstrong did a decent job with direction, but the choice of Kris Slater for the lead role in a feature was a poor one. Directing Grade: A-. The concept was a solid one, but it's execution missed the mark. Some dialogue was lifted from the original film. Still, there was some considerable effort here. Artistic Merit Grade: B+. Overall Grade: B.  |
