i think dolph lundgren have potential at be a big action star a la schwarzenegger and stallone and and even van damme to certain degree . he have some big moment in his career but he also make some poor choice and this be definitely one of them although make later in his career . the strange thing about jill the ripper ( or jill rip . or tie up ) be that i honestly think they seriously think they be make a provocative and serious thriller . it show in the way that they describe it on imdb and on the dvd case and in the commentary and and this film be not serious . to call it campy would be a huge understatement . the film try to be complex and intelligent when in fact it nothing more than shallow and confusing and gratuitous . on top of that they put lundgren and who be know for action film and in an attempt at a serious role which make it even more campy because his range a an actor be pretty limited . the entire film revolves around the kinky sex world and yet they attempt at make it a serious thriller . just the plot and premise immediately make it a b movie porn at very best . dolph lundgren play disgrace former cop and rag alcoholic matt sorenson who decide to play detective when his brother be murder . i mean put aside the numerous plot hole that have lundgren get free roam to investigate crime scene and and witness and everything else even though he not a cop anymore and you still have a pretty strange and rather lack luster performance from lundgren . danielle brett be lundgren eventual love interest and his brother widow . brett play her role decently enough consider the script and campy story . the support cast be huge and no one particularly stand out in their performance unless it on the negative side such a the absolutely horrible performance by victor pedtrchenko who seem to go by several different name in the film and boast an awful accent and be a really awful villain . i honestly try to get into the mystery and film and watch closely but there wasn not any reason to because it be all a jumble of ridiculous plot and gratuitous sex game include a downright ridiculously hilarious scene where lundgren go under cover and be strung upside down nearly naked . to explain how classy and well do this movie be ( sarcasm . sarcasm ) the back of the dvd i pick up ( it be really cheap ) have lundgren character list a murray wilson ( not the name of his character in the film . ) while somehow lundgren manage to be usually watchable the film fall flat on it face try to be serious . consider director anthony hickox be infamous for really b movie horror flick it only make sense even though i think he be really try to be serious . hard core cult lundgren fan will have to see it . no one else should . certainly for any sort of mystery or suspense . negative .
