Pleasures of Sin (2001) Online

I've taken another look at this film and still consider it pretty good. Chloe is one of the few hardcore stars who really can act. She appears occasionally in soft core such as "Body of Love" and "Lady Chatterly's Stories" on Showtime. I thought Nicole Hilbig did OK too with her nice body and charming accent. Too bad she's not in more films.

Maybe a bit harsh, but I have my reasons. To be honest, there is just as much good (as good as straight to video movies get) as bad in this one.

I should learn not to judge a movie by the box cover, due to being burned a few times recently by cool looking box covers and absolute crap in the movie. I wouldn't call this movie absolute crap, but it's nothing more than your average B-Movie. Except this B-Movie stars actual porn stars, trying to break through to the other side I presume.

Let me explain my problem with this movie starting with the box cover. On the front is a woman dressed very similar to Tomb Raider's Lara Croft. The revealing clothes with black gloves, gun in holster and two grenades around her neck. Nowhere in the movie do they use, need or show a grenade or a gun. I was expecting a low budget Tomb Raider action style movie and instead I got an average low budget movie set in a brothel with zero action.

Nothing what I expected which I believe to be the purpose of the box cover.

Ranting a little, so I'll go onto my next problem, which is actually the bigger of the two. Dru Berrymore (cleverly disguised as Nicole Hilbig) is not a good actress. She's not even a bad actress. She's not an actress, but a performer in a very different type of movie. The delivery of her lines was not up to par and I don't know if it was a thick accent or what but she annoyed me every time she spoke. In my opinion, she made the movie worse and should have been recast.

Chloe, however, billed as Chloe Nichole, did make a somewhat believable brothel madame. Could it be that is because she, too, is "acting" in a very similar way to her other movies? She did have the best scenes in the movie, but quite honestly, that was still not a great performance by any means.

Overall, the movie was pretty straightforward, not many plot twists or turns. Everything pretty much goes as expected. I wasn't pulling my hair out waiting for the movie to end, but it was pretty much in the middle of the road. 5 out of 10.

This film rates up there with the best of late-night cable offerings. Some might harp on the questionable acting, but then, you're not watching a movie like this for a Grammy-winning performance, are you?

I think that the best reason to watch this film is "any scene with Chloe Nicholle"...but that's me. It's interesting to note that she is known for more "hardcore" roles, and yet was clearly the best actor in this picture.

As for the "soft-core" scenes...they are some of the hottest out there. If you have a couple of hours to kill at three in the morning, crank up the Digital Cable and give this film a shot.

Thank you The FilmZone for showing this sleazy soft core sex flick at 1 a.m. I truly enjoyed it. To be honest, I expected a lot more from a sexy cast with McKayla, Dru Berrymore, and of course, the talented Chloe Nicholle (as Rebecca Carter).

The production values are truly bad mainly because of the low budget but a little more effort wouldn't harm. For example, the cinematography makes it look like a hard core porno movie. There's absolutely no effort in lightning. But let's ignore that fact because let's be honest, we watched "Pleasures of Sin" because of the high amounts of sex.

The sex factor is pretty good and offers steamy, explicit scenes. Chole Nicholle delivers the best performance of the female cast.

So my advice is , watch this movie if you are in the mood for good explicit sex or just watch it if you are a fan of Mrs. Nicholle.

Recommended only for the sex scenes; don't expect anything else.

There's not much anyone can say about this flick....the plot is quite simple: Two police officers (who also happen to be lovers) are using a brothel as a stakeout in order to catch a criminal, with the help of the "lady of the house", played by hardcore pornstar Chloe. As anyone can guess, there's a few plot twists and some blurred alliances, but the writing was just horrible, even for a softcore movie.

I've read some previous posts about Nicole Hilbig's accent (she plays the female cop). Yes, it's hard to understand what she's saying at times, but I think I've placed it. I did some sniffing around....I think she's from Germany, hence her odd-sounding accent. She makes an impression even without speaking, however...she's got a great looking body.

There were a couple of "from behind" sex scenes in this movie that were quite graphic for a softcore film....excellent work there. The three-way scene toward the end wasn't bad either.

*SPOILER ALERT*

I kinda knew the female cop was gonna turn into a part-time call girl at the end. She enjoyed her three-way WAY too much.



*END SPOILER*

I'm not gonna nitpick about the story TOO much, seeing as this is a low-budget, direct-to-video softcore flick. However, it just seems like I've seen way too many movies in this genre with a similar type of storyline.

Women: B (Chloe and Hilbig were okay as the eye-candy) Sex: B+ (scenes were kinda short, but good) Story: C (a recycled plot, but whatever works, eh?) Overall: B-

First of all this is one of the worst soft-core straight to cable "erotic thriller" I've ever seen in my life. Of course, like all erotic thrillers are want to do, it's about a brothel madam and is set in a brothel. This, of course, makes the softcore simulated sex that pops up every other 10 minutes seem "in context." Whatever.

Forget for one moment that this was never meant to win any awards. The actors are terrible and their line reading made me cringe. The woman who plays the female cop is so bad it's beyond description. She must be a really REALLY good friend of the guys who put up the movie for this terrible adventure, if you know what I mean.

The production values are only slightly higher than porn. Other than that? I suppose if you're really drunk and you need something to laugh at, this would be a perfect film. And if that's the case, I recommend fast forwarding to all the scenes with the female cop. What's that accent, Brooklyn? Hilarious!

I saw this movie awhile back and can't seem to track it down. Does anyone know where I can get a hold of it? I feel it is worth seeing again.

I'm sorry to say I had never heard of Chloe Nicholle until this film. Yes she can act. When I first began to track this movie down I mistook it for another one of her movies, Sex Spa. The plot seems similar to me but the roles are reversed.

This is the first film I've seen Dru Berrymore. I looked up some of her other films and I feel she looks better as a blonde.

I agree this is a good introductory movie. Not too soft. Not too hard. You got to start somewhere.

I thought this to be a pretty good example of a better soft core erotica film. It has a reasonable plot about the madame of a bordello caught up in a police scheme to nab a wealthy crook.

Hardcore porn star Chloe Nichole again shows her genuine acting ability. She will occasionally appear in soft core such as "Body of Love" and "Lady Chatterly's Stories. Nicole Hilbig, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired in her role as the female cop.

This movie is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I would like to describe more of how bad it was, but it seems as though my mind as involuntarily blocked out my memory of this movie; all I remember is it had a horrible plot, bad acting and was pretty much a soft core porno. Hell, this movie didn't even have any good action which might have made it minutely worth watching. The cover of the movie is the most misleading thing I have ever seen in my years of existence. Books, movies or magazines usually portray least a fraction of what is to be found within the story.. the woman on the "bounty huntress" cover isn't even in the movie. It was literally like putting the cover of a Steven segal movie on spice world or something. It made no sense. Don't ever watch this movie if you have any remote value for your life.

My goodness, someone in the production of this film must have been an NYPD Blue fan, because Nicole Hilbig sounds and looks like Gail O'Grady. Brooklyn indeed, but more like Brooklyn Joe Beckham in comparing her accent to the Beckham's decision to name their prodigy son after the borough of New York. B A D: BAD!

This time though, the bad acting really hurts this movie. It makes Eve's Beach Party looks good. The film, about a madam who's in big trouble with the police because of her brothel, is forced to have two detectives (who are lovers, one of them is Brooklyn) to spy in her operations.

Even though again I applaud that the main women in this film are all-natural, the brutal acting just hurts. The set-ups to the philosophical discussions are non-existent and the film is just one big bore. Chloe reminded me of Nicole Gian because they both look like better versions of Julia Roberts, but that's about it. The story is a retread, too. And of course, Miss Hilbig is very nice, but the accent is awful. I guess Jennifer Jason Leigh is off the hook when it comes to annoying accents now.
