Disappointing, Far-Fetched Erotic Thriller, 20 Jan 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Set in Los Angeles, "Fleshtone" is about a lonely painter (Matthew Greco, played by Martin Kemp) who answers a phone sex ad, believing he's finally found someone who understands him--and, most importantly, someone who can turn him on.After awhile of "getting to know each other"--which mainly consists of them sharing sexual and morbid phone conversations--Edna Claire and Matthew agree to meet each other in a motel room. However, when Matthew arrives, he finds a dead, mutilated Edna instead--cut in two at the waist, and posed eerily like the bisected portrait she had insisted he draw of her awhile back.
Not surprisingly, Matthew is framed for her murder, creating a trail of detectives and unknown bad guys, who apparently had wanted to pin the murder on him. Somewhere along the way, Matthew realizes Edna isn't who she said she was. The one person he can confide in, so far, is Buddy Fields (Tim Thomerson), who is his best friend and the one redeemable character in this movie, though the bit where Matthew wanted Buddy to play the butler in his fantasy dinner with Edna is utterly hilarious, though I doubt it was supposed to be.
Up to about this point, "Fleshtone" had a somewhat promising plot. But as Matthew searches for the true identity of Edna Claire--there are about three different versions of her: 1) the imaginary Playboy centerfold he imagines while on the phone (Debi Giezing); 2) the dead woman in the motel room (Melanie Walker); and 3) the "real" Edna, aka Jennifer Womak (Lise Cutter)--the murder mystery is virtually forgotten so he can romp in the bathroom with the latter Edna.
Although unrated, "Fleshtone" definitely gets an X-rating from me. There's more plastic, liposuctioned t&a in this movie than you can shake a stick at. The ending's pretty bad too. It just leaves you hanging. I'm guessing the storyline became too complicated and far-fetched for even the writer(s), since they weren't able to close it properly. I certainly would not recommend this movie, unless you're an avid fan of one of the actors or actresses (and I use the term loosely). Just don't expect too much from "Fleshtone," and you won't be disappointed like I was.
