Femme Fatales - It's so bad that it's good

jonathanruano

I sometimes here the proverb that "this film is so bad that's good," and I never believed it. But then "Femme Fatales" assaulted my senses. "Femme Fatales" is such a hilariously stupid porno series that it's surprisingly good. Most of the dialogue was so incredibly ridiculous that it could not possibly be taken seriously and probably was not even meant to be. Yet at the same time, my reaction to the stupid lines was not boredom or disgust, but amusement, because the screen writers miraculously gave this idiotic dialogue an originality and a quirky black humour that I frankly have never seen before in any porno. The plot lines were preposterous, but they were so fast-paced, so difficult to predict (there is nothing worse than a movie or series that you can predict), so breathtakingly violent and savage and so unusual that I did not even care that much about the flaws. Finally the acting may not be the best in the world, but for a porno series it is pretty exceptional. I challenge anyone to prove that Hanna Harper, Bree Olson or Steven St. Croix can act better than cast for the Femme Fatales series.

Owing to the bold and breathtaking approach "Femme Fatales" takes to its own subject matter, I suspect that this series is going to be very controversial. Yet if you like porn and are open to something radically different, then you may want to give this series a try.
