To the Limit (1995)
6/10
Pretty bad as an action movie but Anna makes up for it
8 January 2014
There is only one distinguishing factor about To the Limit and that is that it stars Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith in a role where she isn't shy at getting naked. In truth she is the only good reason to watch this. In it she plays an ex-CIA agent in a narrative that involves an important disk that relates to events that happened in the Vietnam War. Or something. In fairness, it seems to have a quite convoluted plot-line for a mindless action movie. Or maybe it was just that it was difficult paying attention when I was anticipating seeing Anna's magnificent breasts again? It's difficult to say for sure but, needless to say, the story isn't exactly the films strong point. But who would really expect it to be in fairness?

No, like I said, the reason to watch it is for Anna Nicole Smith. Aside from her gun-toting action scenes she manages to take time out for an extended bath, a shower and has sex a couple of times. These naked moments constitute the highlights of the film as a whole. She is supported in this area with an early scene involving a couple of attractive strippers but this is pretty clearly Anna's vehicle. This was the second film she made for the production company PM Entertainment Group who specialise in low budget action flicks, the other was the more well-known Skyscraper. Both titles follow the same formula of mixing action with soft-core erotica. Each has action that is strictly forgettable but nude scenes that are pretty good, so there isn't a lot between these flicks but, if anything, I reckon To the Limit slightly edges Skyscraper. And that may only be because it paces its erotic moments better throughout its running time, ensuring there are less boring stretches that rely on lame action. And, really, that's quite an important consideration in the final analysis.
