Half of the movie is sex and nudity. Maybe you should just watch an adult film instead. The story wasn't so bad though I guess. It is about a sexually promiscuous woman, who goes into the wrong hands of a man named Mike. I think Mike was a miscast. Mike should be someone who is suave, devilishly handsome, charismatic... The actor does not really fit that role. I can see Kate Vernon sleeping with him once maybe, but I don't see her being enamored by him and following his every word. Secondly, the ending made it seem like Mike's blackmail of Kate Vernon was a waste of time, which made me wonder what the point of all his hard work was. Thirdly, I don't know how Mike found out who her patients were. Overall, the story is kind of hard to believe. It just seemed like a stupid plan all along. Mike is going to have sex with this woman to blackmail her, just so that he can have her record her criminal patient talk so that Mike can take him out? Seems like he could've made a better plan. And just to end up with Kate Vernon's character not following through with the plan. What a letdown! Still, it keeps you interested till the end and that's good.

Lou Diamond Phillips in an erotic thriller?!?! I think he'd be one of the last people just about anyone would think of appearing in this particular film genre, except apparently for Lou Diamond Phillips himself, who not only wrote the script but sat in the director's chair. As you might expect, the sex scenes involving him are pretty silly, not just for the fact that he uses an obvious body double on several occasions. Other faults with the movie include that it goes on for too long. Still, while the movie may overstay its welcome, I can't honestly say that the movie became boring at any moment. I was curious enough to stay until the very end. Also, while this is a low budget movie, Phillips crafts the movie in a way to make the production values acceptable. If it comes on cable during a slow night, you could do a lot worse.

Written, produced and directed by its star Lou Diamond Phillips, Dangerous Touch is an interesting debut for Mr. Phillips behind the camera. Certain parts of this film he did better than others, however.Lou is a sexy career criminal who's trained his sites on lovely and voluptuous Kate Vernon who is a psychologist with a talk in radio show and a best seller. Kate's treating Max Gail a syndicate kingpin who is having issues. Kate's a woman who loves sex with the joy of a Clinton era Mae West. She thinks she's found the man of her dreams when the mysterious Lou accosts and seduces her at a book signing. But he's all the time setting her up for blackmail, he wants her help to kill Max Gail by pressing on his neuroses so that he'll do it himself or his syndicate partners will out of fear that Gail will talk. Lou's at his best directing what falls this side of a soft core porn film. The sight of a nude Kate Vernon is certainly enough to stir the young men in the audience.Unfortunately the premise that she will be hurt by the exposure of her private sex life just doesn't ring true. Vernon's character is not Laura Schlessinger or someone who might work for Dr. James Dobson, someone who'd really be hurt by such a scandal. She comes across as a woman with a real healthy appetite for the erotic and exotic. Knowing that what happens in the end just doesn't make any sense.Still Lou Diamond Phillips as director and star has nothing to be ashamed of. But he should have asked me about the script.

Kate Vernon comes off very well as a radio talk show host who wants to fulfill her own fantasies as well as give advice to her listeners.Problem predictably develops when she involves herself in a situation with one of her callers that leads to a video tape and blackmail for the caller's not predictable reasons.Lou Diamond Phillips does a pretty good job of directing but he miscast himself as the male lead. Otherwise this is far better than most of the genre and Ms. Vernon is awfully sexy.
