Dangerous Invitations (2002) is an erotic thriller, long on the erotic.
Glen Meadows plays a top game designer, and his girlfriend (Beverly Lynn) is a
photographer. His company is about to launch a new game system, and management
expects him to support the launch by conceiving the best game ever. His boss
sends the two of them to a resort for the weekend, along with a coworker. While
there, they decide to have a threesome with Shauna O'Brien. It is the next day
that they discover she has a husband. Meadows and Lynn were counting on a
one-time fling but O'Brien, and especially her husband (Evan Kennsington), seem
to be looking for much more. Kennsington at first asks to sleep with Lynn, and
then his real goal comes out. He wants to steal the design data to the new game
system to sell to a competitor.
The photography is very well done, as is set design, all of which made for
amazing nudity.
Of course, it is primarily a sex film and, given the number of naked images
and sex scenes, you would think the plot was a complete throwaway, but you would
be wrong. The film moved quickly for me, and is couple-friendly, with strong
female characters.
If you are not familiar with our grading system, you need to
read the
explanation, because the grading is not linear. For example, by
our definition, a
C is solid and a C+ is a VERY good movie. There are very few Bs
and As. Based on our descriptive system, this film is a:
I suppose it is a D as an erotic thriller because you
shouldn't pick it up for the plot or acting, but as a couples
softcore, it is a easy to recommend - lots of naked people well
photographed, and a nice little story.
