I saw this movie entitled as "To Live and Die in Hollywood" and right away noticed something wrong: Everything is actually in Georgia!
Oh well, the title really means that we are talking about a producer who makes big "Hollywood" movies. From what little we see of his movie-in-the-movie, it doesn't exactly look like "Blockbuster Material," if you know what I mean...
Okay, so our big producer "Ben" (played by Jordan Williams) has to cut costs and does not have any safety measures in place while filming a car chase. As a result, the lead stuntwoman dies during filming.
Ben's trophy wife, "Sue" (played by Wendy Guess) thinks everything should be okay, even though Ben is facing a serious lawsuit for negligence. She wants to party, drink, and have great sex. Ben, meanwhile, is worried about losing everything he owns.
Ben flies off to meet with lawyers for a few days, and Sue is left alone. After a seemingly casual and illegal drug purchase, her car breaks down and she is forced to walk through a rough neighborhood to get home. While doing so, a motorcyclist, Rick (played by Pierre Perea) passes by and offers her a ride. She accepts and then invites him into her mansion for a beer, which was probably not the smartest thing to do.
There were few surprises in this story about love and revenge. Indeed, many other movies have done a better job. The editing sometimes made it difficult to follow, and there were dream sequences that were a little unclear - were those really dreams, or did it happen? Maybe I was the one who fell asleep and was dreaming! Another thing was that the stuntwoman looked a lot like the wife. I was confused at the beginning, thinking they were the same person.
One positive thing: I liked Pierre Perea's acting. He was convincing, showing a range of different emotions. And maybe Wendy Guess also deserves credit for playing a dumb blonde. She did that rather well.
If this movie happens to be available to watch, you might just want to pass on it.
