The Sex Spa

This softcore cop thriller made for late-night cable tv is a poorly made bore, hiring porn stars like Chloe, Dale DaBone and Dru Berrymore to walk through nothing roles and simulate sex.

They have all given quality performances in many XXX movies, but are hamstrung by this TV format. Chloe was famous for her skills at deep throat and anal sex, neither of which are permissible here.

Lousy script makes the familiar error of calling DaBone and other massage specialists "masseuses" instead of masseurs, and other than full nudity the massage porn scenes are timid. Murder mystery plods along as lead cop Chloe coincidentally needs massage therapy herself as she investigates murders centering on a spa/brothel, and the guilty party turns out to be one of the least likely suspects.

Fans would be advised to seek out instead some of the stars' fine uncensored work shot by hardcore labels like Adam & Eve and VCA Pictures.
