"A strong suspense thriller"
Show business publicist Karl LaRosa enjoys his lifestyle
that includes many young women to make love with in his
Malibu home. However, his perfect life starts to break
down when someone tries to run his Jaguar off the road and
vandalizes his house and office. Attempts to kill him
follow. Karl assumes an ex-girlfriend seeks revenge for
some unknown slight, but has no idea whom or why. Unbeknownst to Karl is that the events in his life follow
the filming of
the script of Pure and Uncut, a movie being
directed by Academy Award winning Cambridge Hill. No one
involved in the making of the movie breaks the confidence
by informing Karl what is happening as everyone is under
contract. Karl needs to uncover the truth soon because his
unknown assailant is becoming bolder and more dangerous. The narration alternates between Karl, the culprit, and
several of those working on Pure and Uncut. This enables
the audience to fully appreciate the strength of the
characters, but especially the lead protagonist. The
suspense increases as Karl struggles with solving who wants
to destroy him even as his anonymous opponent raises the
pressure on him. The deep look into Hollywood filmmaking
is insightful and entertaining in its own right, but also
slows down the pace of a thrilling stalker plot. Billie
Sue Mosiman provides her audience with a strong suspense
thriller that will keep the audience reading until the
FINAL CUT. Harriet Klausner
