It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Is nothing sacred? What has the world come to when hardworking phone sex operators are being sexually harassed by obscene calls? This is one film plot I will never get over! Blondie ('Heart of Glass') is a 250 pound chain smoking phone sex operator who starts receiving.... brace yourself... obscene phone calls! The heroic police rush into action! This is like a fish complaining about being wet! While this is trying to be a "mysterious caller" thriller, she's not a teenage baby sitter, she's a phone sex operator.This has to go down the most annoyingly illogical plots ever, along with 'Double Jeopardy' where Ashley Judd receives $4,000,0000 in insurance money for being convicted of murdering her husband, and 'Armored' when the trapped hero simply escapes TWICE without the villains noticing and then willingly returns to his captors TWICE! 2 stars due to the hunting soundtrack.
I have to first state that I am a newer Debbie fan, and seeing this movie made me just LOVE her even more!!! Having just watched it for the first time I cannot get it out of my head! There's something about Debbie that just draws you in, she's a true doll! When she's on screen you can't take your eyes off of her! In this movie she proves herself not only a FABULOUS singer as she's always been, but a truly credible actress! I only wish people in Hollywood would consider her for more big budget films! This movie has everything it's dark, it's intense, and its got Debs:) What more do you want? There's one scene in this movie where Debbie truly SHINES as an actress, and I'm talking about the scene where she describes her mother's death, and her loneliness. She is just IT! You really feel for her character, especially in this scene where she shows her vulnerability. Please see this movie, especially if you're a Debbie and/or Blondie fan!!
I couldn't believe what i was hearing when I first saw this movie. This has to be my dream role for Debbie. If you thought she was dirty in Videodrome you aint seen nothing yet! Its not the greatest movie in the world but its so worth watching to hear Debbie doing phone sex. Grace Zaberiski who you'll probably recognise from so many things makes an appearance. It does get a little disturbing but you've got to see Debbie with a blow torch. She also sings a bit in the movie and i just wish there was a sound track. This is her 3rd best role after her one in 1999's Six Ways To Sunday and as Velma Von Tussle in John Waters' Hairspray. Great tag line too. 'She Just Turned On The Wrong Guy'!
Deborah Harry plays a burnt out musician/phone-sex operator Cory Wheeler in 'Intimate Stranger', a made for cable 'adult thriller".The movie would be a yawn if not for Ms. Harry's smoky, heavy-lidded performance. The rest of the cast is fine too, but but only so much can be done to make this 'erotic thriller' sustain viewers interest, besides adding some gratuitous nudity and violence, of course.
