Movie Reviews of Wild Orchid

Movie Review: Wild Orchid In Deed
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far the most erotic movie I have ever seen you literally feel as if your there during Carnival.The movie (to me) is about two people searching for something and finding each other and the ending is perfect. I love this film and Zalman Kings vision. Beautifully done one of my favorite movies.. 5 stars..

Movie Review: Compelling story!
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this movie! MICKEY ROURKE does a GREAT job and I liked Carre Otis too - they DEFINITELY have chemistry! - it's NOT your ordinary love story but it pulls you in and keeps you there. Add in great music (I bought the CD too), and beautiful scenery - well, I'll be watching this movie a lot!

Movie Review: Masterful exercise in the art of seduction
Summary: 4 Stars

One star off because the Rourke character is rich, millionaire rich. Had he been middle-class or upper-middle class, the seduction would have been more impressive. Another reason one star comes off is because there is only one good scene that he is not in, but since the seduction was realistic and the acting of Rourke is once again stellar, I can't give less than four stars. The Carre Otis character (Emily) is the hardest type of woman to seduce and Zalman King knows this: she is ambitious, hard-headed, conservative, and stunningly beautiful. Surely a woman like this is going to be a task to seduce and the Rourke character knows this. This is the kind of woman that will require a lot of patience and suave. The Rourke character (Wheeler) doesn't need to say all the right things: what he says to the ambitious international lawyer is genuine and heartfelt. On the exterior he is a motorcycle-riding bad-boy. But under the surface belies a man with a vulnerable side and knows that the woman can do some emotional damage to him if he isn't careful. The Jacqueline Bisset performance as a negotiator is a treat. A pivotal scene in the movie is when she and Emily talk about Wheeler for the first time. The negotiator is busy putting on a tie and looking in the mirror (I actually appreciate this. Some movies show characters putting ties on without mirrors and it's not realistic to me because without looking at a mirror, the tie probably will end up looking sloppy and crooked.), telling her of her experience with Wheeler and how he charmed her without even touching her. She wants to know if Wheeler swept her the way he did her, Emily is a beautiful woman after all, so she wants to find out if her attraction in the past was typical or just a spell Wheeler put on her. I guess she wanted to find out if Emily IS as weak as she WAS. The scene is pretty powerful for softcore cheese, I was pleasantly surprised. The movie contains some unforgettable scenes and some not-so-unforgettable scenes. Pretty much every scene not involving Wheeler is forgettable (except for that scene I mentioned between the negotiator and Emily) but Rourke's stellar performance is enough to carry the movie. Rourke displays the proper way of seduction: patience, sincerity, and mystery (not to mention intelligence, Wheeler is no dummy). It's a very subtle yet riveting performance. It's hard to imagine anybody except Rourke as Wheeler. Rent but don't buy. B
