Review:

Ah, the trials and tribulations of owning your own swinging gentlemen's club... 

Paul Thomas' Blind Spot amounted to be an odd mix between a film with a plot and a film without a plot. Blind Spot was virtually dialog-less for the first 45 minutes, but it wasted absolutely no time getting to the first scene. Our principals go as follows: Victoria(Lene), a dancer at The Blind Spot, Damon(Steven St. Croix), the club owner and Eric(Mark Davis), a patron who falls for Victoria. Victoria is hesitant to get involved with Eric for unknown reasons while Damon doesn't want one of his best girls getting away.

I didn't care too much for the overall editing in Blind Spot . Although the scenes were long in real time and offered a good mix of positions and participants, the individual shots were often quite short. For example, let me break down the first scene with Sierra, Lacy Rose, and Steven St. Croix. The actors would really start getting off in a particular position, then the camera would quickly cut away and you would suddenly find them setting up in a totally different pose. Although it was an effort in creative directing, each shot lacked something in the way of closure. The second was a creative dual girl-girl scene. Unfortunately, it was evident that most of the sound was mixed in during production. Or at least they tried to mix it in... I'm sure you'll notice that the moans do not match the lip movements. The final scene had similar problems.

One costuming feature in Blind Spot that should be noted, is that the girls wore sunglasses all the time. Inside, outside, day and night. This isn't just because the director knew how to outfit a dancer, you'll have to watch the flick to find out why.

Overall, I found Paul Thomas' Blind Spot to be a film with plenty of action, but not much else in the way of production and direction.... at least until the end. I give it a 3.
