The ladies with attitude are back; kicking ass.
When it comes to the trio of beautiful ladies we know and love as the Angels - do-gooders who keep the world safe from not-very-nice people - our expectations never run to a decent plot, just as long as they swamp the screen with their radiant charms. They never disappoint us.
Full Throttle - at which the film is played - is about a former Angel turned bad - and played by Demi Moore, who certainly looks good - who has snatched the Witness Protection database and for a price will see off anybody on it. But who cares about plots!
Full Throttle is just a dollop of fluffy fun, lots of enticing flesh and lots of increasingly frantic action. You couldn't possibly take it seriously, and the Angels wouldn't want you to. They just want you to sit back and enjoy every minute of this second big-screen spin-off from the iconic l970s TV series; and you will!
With films such as this you get exactly what you expect from a cast which is clearly enjoying itself. Like the Bond films and the Carry On films you come to Full Throttle knowing that you won't be seeing anything to change your life or make you ponder on serious matters; but that you will feel better for having wallowed in it.
It's terrific in its own sexy way and it looks as if we will be seeing the ladies in many more adventures. Which can't be bad!
