Ep. 96: Could’ve Been Worse. This Could’ve Had Cher.: Commit One’s Review of Fatal Beauty

This is one movie that if they actually tried to rip off another movie it would have been an improvement! Will, Mike, and Sam travel to the world of 80s cop films with the forgotten "gem" from 1987: Fatal Beauty. Starring Whoopi Goldberg in the main role along with Sam Elliot as a bodyguard and love interest (yeah, with all due respect we didn't get that one either), the film follows Whoopi's sometimes-undercover cop character as she digs into the drug trade so much that we had to do a disclaimer at the beginning of this episode to address it and, at the time of the film's release, it almost gained an X rating from the MPAA for its content....it's THAT involved. Despite the interesting backstory, the film proves to actually be a boring slog and just becomes lost in all of the better 80s cop films of the time. Yet, despite wanting to completely forget this one altogether, the Commit One crew is here to dig deep into this film that even the director wanted out of.
