She puts it around her neck and is about to renew her faith in Kane when it begins to glow, removing her strength. Kane has tricked her and begins to spew venom. He's in a wheelchair because of their last meeting. Suggesting he hates Bastat is an understatement. The need to publicly humiliate and ultimately kill Bastat burns within him.

My Review :

Actress - 4 out of 5

Coco is probably one of the better known name in the SHIP circle. As such, she has a very big reputation to uphold. And you will see that in this movie. Good looking, nice body, and good facial expression is the key to most superheroine in peril film success, and you will not be disappointed in this video either.

Acting - 4 out of 5

Acting is superb from all involved, while the story is not strong (There are a storyline and will be discuss later) but the way the actors play out the story and how Coco react with the torture and humiliation is top notch, you will feel bad for the heroine. At the same time, her 'I am mightier than thou" attitude make you want to see her suffer more.

Villain is not as sinister as it could be, maybe because of the wheelchair? Or maybe because it was something else, i thought that Kane is going to savour the moment and enjoying when he had her on the whip, but seems like the actor, Jackson Gory, is too detached from the way he humiliating the heroine. But then it could be a script thing.

Action - 2 out of 5

Fight scene are small portion of the film, i counted around 4 minutes of fight in a 32 minutes storyline, points are being deducted because of it. And when I say fight, it basically a beatdown, Bastat does not do much of a fighting, she is mostly in the receiving end of the fight.

That hit me kind of strange, because as the movie pointed out, Bastat pride herself for her strength, so she must still have something in her to at least put up a fight, while being depowered is one thing, not trying to fight off attack is another.

Otherwise not much action can be seen in this movie, majority of the scene is talk between Kane and Bastat, with occasion beat up of the superheroine. So if you are the type that want to see cocky Bastat were in the upper hand and then table turn on her, you are out of luck, she was never at upper hand in this, maybe perhaps the first few minutes...

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of wanted the film to have more fighting, less talking....Bastat and Kane talked way too much

Costume - 2 out of 5

While once again, the costume is very apparent is a story bought and put together, it comprise of a shiny lycra leotard, long black satin gloves, black sequin belt and black thigh high boots, while it kind of work with Coco, it does not enhance the experience either.

However, point are deducted from the mask Bastat is using, I mean, that's a bondage mask, and it does not fit very well with Coco face, you can literally see her nose being squeeze out of her mask. The black miss marvel type mask would be better, because it show more facial feature. Like the one amber is using in agony, but in black. That would be more suited the costume.

Peril - 5 out of 5

From being beaten to being gassed, the expression of Coco is priceless, she can really sell her peril on screen.

Especially enjoy the humiliation and shame she expressed at the end of the movie, the mighty has fallen, and she played it very well, the shame she curl up and put her hand up on the camera to try to cover her face is top notch

While some of her reaction is not in sync with the CG (like in one shot she was holding her stomach when she was blasted at the pussy or the other way around?) I am not entirely sure whether it is the editing or she just reacted differently, but unless you are fighting for real, you can't have 100% accurate reaction, and what she did is enough to be sold.

Sex Scene - 3 out of 5

While being a TBFE production which basically mean there will not be hardcore sex, that is a given, however, I was kind of disappointed about the lacking of even realistic softcore scene, most of the scene with her pleasuring herself is stimulated, she is touching her pussy and fondling her own breast, but IIRC the lower part of her costume were never removed from her lower part of the body, which mean her gloved hand plays with her costume covered pussy. Other than that, there are no other sexual element you cannot see in mainstream TV/movie

While I am not entirely sure whether it defined as sex scene as well, because I am pretty sure 50 shades of grey have more softcore porn element than this movie have to offer, and 50 shades is only rated R. So, for argument sake, I am going to give a mid score in this section, instead of taking it out entirely and rated this film R or NC-17

Storyline 3 out of 5

The story is about Kane releases from Jail (or hospital) after the last fight with Bastat, while still reeling from the lost, Kane offer a truce between her and Bastat, which turned out to be a false truce just to lure Bastat into a fake sense of security. So Kane can do whatever he wanted to exact his revenge.

That is the story of this movie. While I am not saying the story is not enough, but it wasn't elaborated either, while scratchy information were provided during the movie as to why and how Kane lost the last battle, no actual account was given (other than Bastat use her femineity as a distraction) nor do we know what the fight is about. So the backstory is lacking.

There aren't no twist either, beside the opening gambit where Kane fake a peace offer, but then, it was also kind of negated by the chloro scene and basically Bastat was under Kane control even before the "fake offer" as Bastat was already captured and put out of action, which make the whole scene of waking Bastat up and offer her a peace deal just to dupe her redundant, where Kane could have simply put the fake necklace on Bastat in the beginning when she was out. Again, maybe it's a script thing? I am not sure.

But after that, the story only would have gone one way, and that is the humiliation and destruction of Bastat. While i cannot deduct point from it as the storyline is quite normal, but I can't add point on either.

Total Score : 23/35 or 3.3/5 (average score)

My Verdict.

This movie is a buy, but wherther or not is a must buy is up for debate, the price is not cheap, $43 dollars for Coco half naked and touching herself all over is a high price to pay, yes, she sold the peril alright, but it still very hard to justify a $43 pricetag.

Maybe if you like Coco, you can overlook the $43 dollars pricetag, or if TBFE decided to make a discount out of it, value for money wise, the movie does not worth $43 dollar, I would personally go for Agony, Coercion 2, Dark Vixen or Ninja girl, all of which were slightly cheaper movie from the same video. Which in my view offer much more than Bastat.


Thanks for your time, and enjoy your weekend.
