Weird fatal couple

Speaking about thrillers with elements of eroticism, as well as those involved in them, initially, to a lesser or greater extent, labeled in category "B", which could perhaps only be filmed in the nineties, four components involuntarily catch our attention, in smaller or larger proportions accompanying both categories - murders, a moderately twisted plot, profanity, mainly using one single word, nudity. And if in the first case the mentioned components often serve as a kind of addition to the overall action, then in the second usually the emphasis on them completely fills the frame.

Actually, the film in question can be classified as one of these category "B" products. There are two main characters. Served fourteen years for a murder he didn't commit, pretending to be Elvis Presley, an eccentric guy. A person of not particularly difficult behavior, in the person of Kari Wuhrer, who in particular may be known to fans of computer games for her role as Tanya in "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2" (2000), driving around here in a red Corvette.

Chance brings them together somewhere in the vicinity of Las Vegas and together they decide to be a kind of "Bonnie and Clyde", with the difference that they oppose themselves not to law enforcement agencies, but to the Italian mafia. The narrative moves at a ragged pace, but gradually gains momentum, covering locations from a landfill with neon signs, city backyards and desert to the Hoover Dam.

Meanwhile, returning to the introduction. Sometimes in some B-movies you can sometimes find some interesting details, but here everything succinctly fits into what has been said, or, to put it another way, apart from the varying degrees of Kari's clothes and undress, there is nothing special to look at.
