In the world of made-for-video erotic thrillers, credible plots, competent acting and authentic dialogue are in short supply. "Sexual Predator" is exceptionally lacking in all of those areas, and many others. This is a completely ridiculous picture with unbelievable plot twists that don't even work within the context
of the genre.
It stars Angie Everhard, who still has an amazing body after all these years even though she cannot convincingly portray any real emotions. Judging from her embarrassing behavior here, it's doubtful that she would last one hour as a real parole officer. And then there's co-star Richard Grieco. He's been the butt of a lot of jokes for a long time now, but he's at his most ridiculous here, His hair alone should be enough to get his SAG card repossessed, but there's also his "sexy" delivery. Every word is hushed and barely audible, which would be great if her were recording Harlequin romance audio books. On film, especially this film, you'll be howling with laughter.
Every twist and plot development is telegraphed far in advance, and there's only one legitimate surprise in the film. The final twist that makes Everhard the villainess is a surprise but only because is so completely far-fetched. And the sex scenes themselves are routine and fairly familiar to the regular viewers of Cinemax late at night. In fact, the only thing separating this from a Skinemax feature is this movie's plot-heavy story.
It's a bold statement, but "Sexual Predator" is one of the worst of its type that I've seen in quite some time. This is ridiculous.
