The Most Dangerous Woman Alive
[a.k.a.
Lethal Woman]
Dir: Christian Marnham
Star: Marete van Kamp, Robert Lipton, Shannon Tweed, James Luisi
[10] Such a
title promises a fair amount of sleaze, and certainly this isn't short on
female flesh. It's also more subversive than you might expect: a female
Army cadet is raped by her C.O. and, after he's acquitted by a
court-martial, she recruits other women-with-grudges, and starts extracting
her revenge on those she regards as responsible. van Kamp plays her
with the right degree of insanity, and Lipton gets bonus points for
cool as the covert operations man sent to investigate the disappearances.
While there's the usual cliches such as the bad girl who isn't really, and
the last half an hour is totally predictable, overall, it's a pleasant
surprise.
