Film Category
Julia X 3D
Director(s)
Synopsis
Julia is branded X in this well-wrought generic thriller fleshed out in 3D. The depth is enhanced, as well, by a multi-dimensional plot with doses of cheeky humor and verbal panache, as well as in-your-face visual thrusts that make keen use of the format.
Azlynn's willowy and aptly wayward performance as Julia laces the film with sexuality and mania. As her date (and oddly enough, sado-soul mate), Kevin Sorbo is dead-on perverse: With his weathered Fabio-like look and affection for the songs of Karen Carpenter, he's a mesmeric nutcase. Completing the terrible threesome, Alicia Leigh Willis is Lolita-ish alluring as the twisted little sister.
