Botas negras, látigo de cuero

Botas Negras, Latigo de Cuero (1983)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Jess Franco's spy film about a detective (Robert Foster) who gets in over his head when he takes a new case given to him by a seedy S&M woman (Lina Romay). I had to view this one P&S as well as in Spanish without subs but I don't think it would have mattered either way. The film is incredibly slow, drawn out and there's really nothing too interesting going on. Foster has never been a favorite of mine and even Romay seems bored, although he comes to life during a rather sexy lesbian scene towards the end of the movie. There's an out of place hardcore scene thrown in, which does nothing and the S&M bondage stuff doesn't fly either.
