Showgirls (1995) is a movie that I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady with a troubled past who wants to become a dancer. She initially makes ends meet at a local strip club where anything goes until she meets a man who agrees to help her refine her technique until is recognized by a more reputable dance company. Once she joins the reputable dance company she discovers it may not be as reputable as it appears.
This movie is directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) and stars Elizabeth Berkley (Saved by the Bell), Kyle MacLachlan (Dune), Gina Gershon (Killer Joe), Glenn Plummer (South Central), Robert Davi (The Goonies) and William Shockley (Robocop).
This movie is more fun to watch than actually good. The women are gorgeous and the dance scenes are very well done. The settings, attire and circumstances are interesting. The storyline is uneven and had potential but could have been executed better. The cast is impressive and well selected. There is an abundance of nudity throughout this picture and a great pool sex scene. The rape scene was tough and how it was handled felt unrealistic, as did several parts of the ending. However, this movie is hard not to watch and enjoy the journey it takes you on.
Overall, this movie is not good but it is entertaining and worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing once.
