Best of the second season thus far
movieman_kev17 July 2012
Veronica hires an ex-cop to murder Gil, her cheating husband, whom both have designs on killing her as well in an episode that was much better than the previous two have been this season.

Buddy Giovinazzo crafts a pretty good episode. I'll admit I slightly expected something a bit darker and nihilistic, the man made Combat Shock after all. But what we got fits nicely enough into the film-noir genre. Well-acted by all involved, well save perhaps for Shani whom was merely adequate.

Eye Candy: Shani Pride & Leilani Sarelli get topless; and numerous extras in a stripclub show skin

Warning: Spoilers
"Trophy Wife" is a familiar husband-and-mistress-conspire-to-kill-wife / but-she-catches-on-to-them / and-hires-a-dirty-ex-cop / to-dispose-of-them-first tale, with a twist - a twist you will probably not guess. Warning: I'm not saying you'll necessarily like the (disturbed) ending here, I'm saying that chances are against you guessing it. The desert standoff is a pretty tense sequence, and Leilani Sarrele, exactly 20 years after the notorious "Basic Instinct", looks naturally aged but still quite attractive. Chris Mulkey gives a good performance as the hit-man-for-hire, and, reasonably for his age, keeps his clothes on. **1/2 out of 4.
