Title: Brilliant!
Review: The perfect `T&A' movie! The movie America deserved, not desired. After twenty minutes, the nudity and sexuality is rendered banal, and the film is a stylized interpretation of America's obsession with sex and a metaphor for women's self-degradation while harnessing sexual `power'. Nomi is a victim who sees herself as a survivor while the men in charge absent-mindedly exploit her and then dump her at will. You have to be incredibly insensitive to find this movie exclusively erotic and not disturbing. Bad acting? Yep. Gratuitous violence? Yep. Did Berkley realize what she was getting into? Probably not. Still, worth seeing along with "Starship Troopers," Verhoven's masterpiece of war culture. Seen together, the brilliance of `Showgirls' shines through.
