SWITCH - DVD MovieBlake Edwards (Victor/Victoria) wrote and directed this sharp if somewhat underachieving satire about sexual politics, in which an unrepentant playboy (Perry King), with a long trail of broken hearts behind him, dies and comes back as a woman (Ellen Barkin). Barkin is terrific as a babe with the mind and soul of a stud, and her struggles to reconcile her male impulses with the realities of her new body are the best material in the film. Jimmy Smits is fine as her best friend (back w! hen she was a he, however), and JoBeth Williams is memorable as one of the deceased fellow's castoffs--she ironically becomes an ally of his incarnation as a woman. This isn't Edwards at his greatest, but it's a highly watchable minor entry in his canon. --Tom KeoghA female detective investigating the serial murders of a sexual deviant becomes involved with a woman who is part of a club of prominent and sexually experimantal women; a club that all of the murder victims were members of.

Media Type: DVDDynamic stars and edge-of-your-seat suspense electrify BAD COMPANY, the sexy thriller that's charged with red-hot erotic energy! Laurence Fishburne (WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?, THE MATRIX) is Nelson Crowe, a deep-cover CIA operative with a deadly assignment: infiltrate a highly secret industrial espionage firm. Once inside, he teams with Margaret Wells (Ellen Barkin -- SEA OF L! OVE, SOMEONE LIKE YOU) a master spy and seductive manipulator,! in a pl ot to overthrow the organization's sinister president (Frank Langella -- DAVE). It's an explosive situation as this dangerous power play leads Crowe and Wells into a darkly mysterious web of intrigue -- and shocking murder!Laurence Fishburne is so cool and confident as rogue CIA man Nelson Crowe he looks born to the game. Wearing a cagey smile and exuding a fierceness beneath his calm, he runs through a battery of tests under the watchful eyes of Ellen Barkin (whose crooked grin reveals she's interested in more than simply his professional abilities) and Frank Langella. Barkin and Langella run "The Toolshed," a private-sector version of the CIA that provides security, investigations, and covert work such as blackmail and espionage, and they've got plans for Fishburne. Little do they know that he's not as rogue as they think. As Barkin plots her palace coup with Fishburne as her strong-arm partner, CIA agent Michael Murphy (at his most sleazy and manipulative in an unbilled r! ole) plans his own takeover. Fishburne's role recalls Deep Cover, another film where the cop finds himself so in tune with his undercover part that he becomes as ruthless as the people he's investigating. Bad Company is rarely as compelling as Deep Cover, but its cleverly twisting plot (by veteran mystery scribe Ross Thomas) and roll call of corruption makes for an entertainingly cynical thriller. Director Damian Harris proves an adept stylist with his low-key direction and sleekly handsome look, but Fishburne makes the film with quiet menace and cold-blooded efficiency oozing from under his calculated reserve. --Sean Axmaker
