Review of Secretary (2002) by Pluto744 — 21 Jun 2021
This isn't the worst movie, far from it. However the movie has some interesting moments but the majority of the movie is banal especially the scenes featuring the BDSM. There are a few sexy scenes in the movie but they are unerotic, they are done merely in relation to the plot.
Maggie goes full frontal nude in the movie but it is because the plot requires her to. I was expecting more depth from James's character because he lacked massive depth in his personality. His character came off as bizarre, aloof & overly one dimensional.
If there was more sexuality in the movie & the relationship was presented stronger than what is seen, I would have enjoyed the film much more. Lastly the movie was lacking in supporting characters.
There is only Maggie & James to hold the movie together. They attempt to salvage the movie but it all falls apart. If talented, well known actors were added to the movie, the movie would have been very engaging.
Unfortunately this movie is worth watching once but you don't need to watch it again or buy the movie because it is totally average but barely exciting. Kudos to Maggie for trying a daring role and for being semi-sexy in a few scenes, aside from that the movie is a dud.
The relationship between Maggie & James is Creepy and it should be erotic. If the BDSM scenes were erotic and passionate the movie would have worked perfectly. Those scenes are passionless, awkward and bland.
