The gun-penis metaphor takes a very curious twist in this erotic thriller about a female bodyguard named Cheryl (Rei Natsume) and the man she secretly loves. Unfortunately, the object of her affection happens to be a professional killer and they inevitably end up staring longingly down the barrels of each other's guns. Love can be SO complicated sometimes. Leggy actress Rei Natsume does a very good job with her role and is considerably more physical than most other actresses in the action porn genre.

BEAUTIFUL PREY (1996) AKA: XX: Utsukushiki Emono. Butchy-pretty, sexually naive cop Noriko (Makiko Watanabe) falls under the spell of the rape victim Yu (Kei Marimura), a disaffected masochist who slowly knocks down her inhibitions while simultaneously turning her partner into a willing sadist. Meanwhile, the original rapist is still on the loose, but does Yu really want him brought to justice or is she setting Noriko up as the next victim? Noirish pink movie from director Toshiharu Ikeda, he of the overrated EVIL DEAD TRAP, like so many others, offers a curious insight into the darker side of the Japanese sexual psyche, albeit not an overly deep one.
