Stripped Naked

Stripped Naked

There are deserts where a feature or two does manage to jar the viewer into some form of engagement, and they don’t happen too often. Clichés are one more reason there is zero artistic vision within the picture; all things considered, Stripped Naked for my purposes ranks quite highly among the self produced, direct-to-video releases I have had to endure while working for DVD Talk, even though the film progress, turned out a large number of obnoxious characters and a slow running stopped the picture from being more than just a missed opportunity.

The narrative of the girl named Cassie (Sarah Allen) begins when she takes to the pole for a stripping routine. But what follows is an unanticipated turn of events where the guy named Jack (Jon Cor) becomes domineering and ignorant to Cassie, almost like an unbranded coward. The fights escalate when Cassie stands up against this masculinity to which Jack thinks it is okay to throw out the bags of his girlfriend through the truck window. This spiral of violent arguments interspersed with passion brings out another common theme however one of over control.

They end up in trashy locations when they become separated, which leads to a disturbing car sex moment as one of them gets behind the wheel. When they get back together, the show clips of them stealing drugs and money. In the end, Cassie gets too entitled and conceited thinking about moving to Paris to a new life of her dreams, but little does she know that securing her secrets first will be a process.

Conradt and Driscoll are not only writers but also have a pretty creative imagination which allows them to concoct simple plan/fargo brilliant spin offs which are also feature the core elements of bisexual dancers in place of curved landscapes. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that but the director Lee Demarbre does not achieve the overwhelming pace that is necessary for the audience to enjoy a double cross.

In terms of plot development, there is nothing unreasonable in showing how the neat and even comically bookish right-hand man, Mark Slacke, of a rather soft-looking gang leader Paul Rainville, finds Cassie, although it is not even funny or thrilling, just how one would have expected it to be Reasonable. There ought to be more twists added to the current twist of the movie so that despite having some faults, the audience will have enough fun not to focus on them.

Unfortunately, Stripped Naked is only amusing a little and thus, I am left to admire the weak Paris dream sequences of Demarbre and his way of shooting away from the gunshots because the budget is not sufficient for squibs. What baffled me was when I read on IMDb that Mark Slater is the genius behind the production of the interestingly titled borderline absurd and very dull Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, but there is more to this smelly torturous production and simply this, it is not much better than that pompous production.

One positive that carries the film for its entire length is that he got pretty good actors. These people are not going to set the world alight but if any one of them were to land a good chunk of supporting parts, I wouldn’t be so disappointed. Linden Ashby is a good stand in for John C. McGinley (looking through his IMDb, whoever cast him as Van Wilder Sr. ought to be given an award), giving his strip club owner character a soft comedic and pleasantly sociable spin.

Tommie-Amber Pirie is a breath of fresh air, as she plays Cassie’s roommate, Jade, who appears to pout when Cassie ignores her but seems to hang around looking adorable and mildly concerned. Jon Cor has an annoyingly too close for comfort resemblance to Jason Mewes, which may or may not assist him in his ability to render his completely daft boyfriend character more tolerable than he ought to be. Even the tiresome character of Mark Slacke’s underwritten villain Roddy, managed to be slight entertaining, thanks to the way Slacke interpreted the role.

Unfortunately, the pleasing nature of the film only allows it to pass for being okay but worthy. I don’t care what Stripped Naked is about, because I wouldn’t want to scream the way Stripped Naked portrays it. All of the characters, perhaps except Ashby’s, because they are all so busy with themselves and their dreams, they do not make any effort to try to make anyone win any money. Money is the thing I was looking for.

What are these guys even going to use it for? And Cassie is the worst because she becomes the most obnoxious and nasty person in the world as everyone ganks up on her, and she treats both the horrible and the originative in the same worst way possible. What is even worse is that in the very end, Demarbre just presents horrible ending, stripping all the tension and creativity out of any final image as well as allowing himself to directly avoid all responsibility for thinking up a proper conclusion.

Also, it’s further emphasized that there naked women sitting around for the other 75 minutes of the movie. At least there was some payoff, as in, Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter.
