Bare Witness (2002)

I could have taken a shower or do some other work left but i watched this movie on disc then soon after that i thrown it in the garbage drum do you want to know why i did that here are some reasons below.I love soft-core films i have seen plenty i know many actresses that i can name who do this better always for example Gabriella Hall a legend in this business but i guess i expected too much from this project like action & hot sex yes there are some scenes here but too short the director didn't even shot it properly the editing is done by some kids i guess leaving good scenes out of the final cut,i am just assuming but when you watch the film you will feel it that something is missing i will be honest here i pick up any Shannon Tweed film i enjoy it every time they are way better then this,the whole mafia type storyline here is laughable.The Plot:a hit-man makes a mistake by allowing himself to be video taped by some actress Julie while having sex with her then gets killed,the police investigates with help from Carly Marsh but the bad guys are after her too how the detective Killian protects her & solves the crime the answer is in this film.The Cast:the men in this film are worst at acting most of them are middle aged,& as for the ladies Lauren Reina,Catalina Martone & Angie Everhart impress but the script & characters are limited there are not much scenes of these beautiful women for the viewer to enjoy they just fade out soon once again i have to say i felt the scenes looked edited.This film tried hard to do something like Steven Seagal do but it fails,if you are tricked by the poster,cast or hot scenes then please don't bother looking into this movie you will be disappointed,this is just an absolute waste of time nothing more.Overall Bare Witness 2002 is not even recommended for die hard Angie Everhart fans it is boring,filled with pointless dialogs one top of that the runtime/length drags for no reason my rating for this is 2/10.Skipp It

(Some Spoilers) Doing a documentary on L.A prostitution striper and part-time call girl Julie Spencer,Catalina Larranaga, has all her "tricks" or customers taped with a hidden camcorder while their both doing "it". Getting into hot and heavy action with her "John" a hyped up Gav Reed, Mark Silvertsen, the two are interrupted and Juile is told to wash up and leave. It turns out that big city real-estate tycoon Ian Hunter and one of his henchmen Nix, Even MacMenzie & Robert McRay, pay Gav a visit talking over a contract hit of mayoral candidate Mary Washington, Angela Sargeant, that's to take place that evening, all this is being secretly taped by Julie's hidden camcorder.Rav goes to a campaign dinner, disguised as a waiter, for candidate Washington and shoots City Councilman, in fact the City Council President, Frank Constantine (Don Short) who got in the line of fire injuring him. Later Rav is killed by Hunter's hoods to keep him quite if he decided to spill the goods on, or blackmail, the person who paid him to assassinate, which he failed, candidate Washington.Hunter later that evening goes to Julie's place of work, a sleazy L.A bar where she's a stripper, and asks the owner Slim (Joe Constanza), who's anything but, that he's a movie producer and want's to borrow her, at a good price, for the evening in a porno flick that he's doing. Julie like Rav ends up dead with a bullet in the head and dumped in a dumpster not far from Slim's bar.It's then when Hunter somehow finds out about the tape and has his hoods break into Julie's apartment. After knocking out both her roommate Carly, Angie Everheart, and Det. Killian (Daniel Baldwin), who was there interviewing her about Julie's murder, they take all of her secret tapes. It's only later that that it's discovered that it's the wrong tape! Not the tape with Hunter giving Rav the letdown and instructions on killing Mary Washington. The films plot has bit more meat to it, besides the graphic sex scenes, then you would have expected from a soft-core porn movie with a good twist ending that you realize is coming long before the movie "Baer Witness" ends.Both Danial Baldwin & Angie Everheart do their best to make the film believable with Baldwin's impression of a rebel ,do what I wanna do, cop and Everheart's of an ex-hooker with a heart of gold bartender and part-time stripper. Hunter wanting to have a road built from L.A to a desert casino that he owns plays both sides, running for L.A mayor, against the middle to get whoever gets elected to do his bidding. The fact that the attempted assassination of Mary Washington was a failure and City Councilman Frank Constanstine, who was the one that Hunter really wanted to be mayor, was wounded played right into Hunter's hands. This all set things up up the real attempt to murder Washington at the end of the film. Finding the missing tape in a electronic store where Julie had her VCR sent to have the tape, that was stuck inside, removed has Hunter and one of his cronies Marina, Lauren Reina, chase Carly all through L,A. Hunters attempt to retrieve and destroy the incriminating tape before it's made public eventually blows Hunter's grand plan to control whoever becomes mayor and pull his, or her, strings to do whatever he want's him, or her, to do. Slim earlier got wise to Hunter's plans, after Det. Killian and his partner Det. Daulton (Willie Gault) paid him a surprise visit, ends up getting whacked by Marina to keep him from blackmailing her boss who she later sells out. Marina ends up selling the incriminating and politically explosive video tape to CNN News Network,for a hefty fee.

Angie Everhart... Personally, I love her looks, accept her acting, and don't expect much from her films. This one, however, is pretty bad. Daniel Baldwin (of whom I'd never heard) is a HORRIBLE actor. He becomes this caricature of a man to whom this goddess of a woman is somehow attracted. Their love scene lacks credibility, to be polite. Showcasing beautiful Angie, it also blatantly tries to hide blubbery Daniel, this bargain-bin Baldwin. If you saw a graceful swan trying to make love to a bloated buzzard corpse, you'd find it hard to believe your eyes.Rent "Sexual Predator" instead, though it has the same problem with her troll of a boyfriend. But there's muuuuch more Angie...

Spoilers herein.Naturally, you already know this is worthless.The story is a simple shuffle of the `implicating tape' hassle -- its amazing how often this happens (this time with the killer's name scrawled in blood). There's other self-reference: Angie as a former `actress' that couldn't hack it. A fat slob that's her `producer' who is just like Baldwin only moreso. Her character's aversion to making sex films, precisely the opposite of the actor's.I've slogged through a few of Angie's projects, and its interesting to see her work. Her job has nothing to do with the character, but to make herself look appealing. Any actress knows that film beauty is a manufactured product. Most work with a single facial feature and build a whole person around it. Angie acts with her hair. See how she arranges to have it lit according to the Hepburn formula. She has very little to work with actually.There's a very minor role here by someone named Nellie Sciutto. She's a secretary and she actually tries to act. Makes everyone else look bad.Ted's Evaluation: 1 of 4 -- You can probably find something better to do with this part of your life.
