The ultimate focus of this film is Aya Sugimoto, who've grown up from a graphic idol of the'80s into an entrepreneur and an actress amongst other things. She's really matured from the beautiful young girl into a nice multi-talented lady. A rarity in a field where new comers fade away just as quickly as they appear. If you look at the combination of Dan Oniroku, and Takashi Ishii, you can bet that this is going to be a hard core movie in many ways (and it is). A husband in debt is asked to submit his wife to a 95 year old man's pleasure item. He has little choice but to submit.

The wife (Aya Sugimoto) who doesn't know anything about the deal becomes the unwitting sacrifice in the game of sadistic sexual display. I actually haven't seen Aya Sugimoto for almost 20 years, and had to do a double take to make sure that she was the same Aya Sugimoto that I've seen in the '80s. She's changed, but into a respectable lady. I'm not a big fan of Dan Oniroku or Takashi Ishii, but this movie was of good quality mainly due to the performance of Aya Sugimoto.
Honestly, I thought this was some sort of detective thriller or maybe horror movie. The fact that it's softcore with S&M theme was a bit shocking. It does have some crime aspect, although it's far too flimsy and lacking depth. Audience might find some comedy through its corny delivery, though the movie is one strange experience, it's really not that enjoyable or even approachable. Story follows a few women's perspective, each has tie to a dubious porn site. The main plot is a female officer's effort to bring this site down, while a couple of other subplots are shoehorned for promiscuous scenes.
In fact, one of them is practically a housewife doing exhibitionism. Investing considerably portion of movie for outdoor exhibitionist is one of many examples of its oddity. Pacing is usually hampered with several nudity or downright dominant play. For what it's worth, a couple of the scenes do have sensual tone as the production has clear idea how to present these. However, the silly antics, excessive gore and borderline porn content are not for mass consumption.
There might be a niche for this kind or movie, for obvious reasons, but casual viewers might find this too bizarre to be entertaining.
