A Review in Tandem: "Elektra Luxx" (and "Women in Trouble")

I’ll admit that I was a bad critic when it came to this movie. I didn’t approach it with a clean slate. I stumbled in actually wanting to like it. Wanting desperately to capture some semblance of quality or cohesion or subversive wit. But before I take this apology any further I must state that I wasn’t the only one who broke the rules. Director Sebastián Gutiérrez also shattered some cardinal precepts when he made “Elektra Luxx”, a tentatively-rendered sequel to his oddball sex comedy “Women in Trouble”.

Part deux of a proposed trilogy (the upcoming installment appropriately or inappropriately titled “Women in Ecstasy”), “Luxx” has all the same parts that made “Women in Trouble” great (at least in my mind).
