...epics put their audience through this needless lifeboat drill, establishing characters whose main function is to be devoured or drowned. This applies here even to Billy, a tough loner with a sweet spot. Billy could be his own Bogart festival. At first he is the grizzled boat captain in To Have and Have Not; then he's greedy Fred C.

Films in the '90s, however, largely haven't been as earth-shattering. But that's all about to change, with a fresh new film boasting exciting young talent. Or at least, that's what the maker's of Body Shots would have you believe. It claims, in kinship to movies such...
