Review of El Cortez (2006) by Luke Y. Thompson for L.A. Weekly — 18 Oct 2006
Every "twist" is so telegraphed that there's little suspense here. Phillips' performance is an enjoyable change of pace, and the gratuitous sex scene with Middendorf is fairly hot, but the story's just an aggravating wait for the inevitable double-crosses.
For it to be a true lowbrow pleasure, more sex would be needed.
