SmokeyTamoaka's Full Review: Red Shoe Diaries the Movie
Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.
If you are a David Duchovny or Billy Wirth fan then this is a must see for you!
In this movie David Duchovny plays a very erotic role, as the boyfriend of a beautiful woman who is all too happy with him. So happy in fact that she seeks out the "danger" of a secret. And that secret comes in the form of Billy Wirth, who plays a construction worker/ladies shoe salesman. But her little secret soon turns into a huge problem that she can't handle for long.
I found this movie excellent, as a Duchovny and Wirth fan myself. Those two actors pretty much "made" the movie. It is interesting to see Duchovny in an erotic role, after watching X-Files for so long. And I have long felt that Wirth deserved more recognition, he has gotten so few roles worthy of his talent.
Bridget Bako, the girlfriend with the not so little secret, is also excellent in this movie. I have found myself searching out more of her movies as a result of seeing her in this role.
The script will, at times, have you asking "what the..?", but it really fits the movie well when all is said and done. And a few parts won't make much sense even when all IS said and done. However, they are really irrelavent parts and are quickly forgotten.
If you are a watcher of Red Shoe Diarys then I also recommend seeing this movie, as it is how the series began.
I must add, this is not one to watch with the kiddies around. Several sex scenes, much nudity, language, and really it is just full of things you don't want to try to explain to a youngen...
