X (2011) 4/10

Starring : Viva Bianca, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Peter Docker, Stephen Phillips
Director : Jon Hewitt
Running Time : 90 mins

Holly Rowe (Bianca) is a long time call girl who has decided to quit the business in the hopesw of moving from Sydney to Paris, but on her last night of work she meets a young runaway called Shay Ryan (Mangan-Lawrence) who is working her first night as a prostitute and the two find themselves on the run when they witness a drug deal go terribly wrong.

Personally I didn’t enjoy this movie. It felt like a poor attempt as taking The Girlfriend Experience and making it into a thriller. This is meant to be realistic, but how often do prostitutes find themselves on the run from murderous drug dealers? Those who just want to see a bit of nudity might be disappointed as there isn’t that much – the first nude shot is a guy with his dick out, so that’s the sort of level you should expect.

You’ll like this if you liked : The Girlfriend Experience
