Review of Whore

Whore (1991)
2/10
Dreadful
6 April 2016
This movie revolves around a prostitute named "Liz" (Theresa Russell) who essentially recounts her life to the audience in a series of flashbacks all leading up to her present situation involving her extremely angry pimp by the name of "Blake" (Benjamin Mouton). Now, although there are a few scenes of a sexual nature, most of these are quite brief and filmed with a minimum of nudity. That said, there is no passion or eroticism to be found in this movie at all. What this film does offer, however, is a sizable number of scenes focusing on Theresa Russell using foul language--in an annoying Bronx accent--at every turn. So much so that, while Theresa Russell is almost always a turn-on in most of her films, she managed to look quite bad in this particular movie. Begging the question of why she would have allowed herself to be so totally miscast in such a dreadfully sleazy role in the first place? One really has to wonder. In any case, I did not care for this movie at all and had it not featured this beautiful and talented actress I would have rated it even lower than I have. Definitely below average.
