Review of Silk

Silk (1986)
3/10
Bad film with false advertising
4 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Bought this film based on the DVD art that shows a tough looking female cop topless in a bra pointing a gun. The tag line on the cover says: "She bangs 'em, breaks 'em and books 'em". Who could resist that advertising ?

Well, spoiler alert, she doesn't do any of the three things claimed. The expectation was that this was a female cop who used her feminine wiles on perps as part of the process of catching and arresting them. Expectation was not met at all. However, the action scenes are acceptable and Ms Verrell holds her own in some of the gunfights and physical altercations. The story was a bit difficult to follow but like James Bond movies (not that this one is even close to one) you suspend belief in reality to try to allow yourself to be entertained. So it was 83 minutes that was sacrificed with the hope of seeing one thing and the disappointment of it being a false hope. Pass.
