It's a dog eat dog world. In the stripper … excuse me, exotic dancer community, it's a lioness eat babe world. Okay...a bunch of femme fatale sultry strippers...sorry, exotic dancers all have greed and sex on their minds. Anything wrong with that? Not here. The ladies in this film are all beautiful. Sadly, some will die horribly and in some cases in heartbreaking fashion. Yep...the life (and death) of an exotic dancer...a true American tragedy. Today we look at 2019's "The Lioness," directed by Richard Poche.
Megan (Lacy Hartselle), an exotic dancer, is a newly arrived gal in town. Her gig is she moves from strip club to strip club, rips them off, and moves to the next one. She is sharing a condo with two other nubile, yet unsuspecting, dancers...Goldie (Gabriele Orebaugh) and Linda (Giuliana Gutierrez). The three babes work at Gino's (Poche) club where the eagle-eyed beauty Anna (Desi Ivanova) watches them hard. Anna is tough and has a 'I-Lost-A-Finger-In-Basra' story...who among us doesn't? Anna suspects one of the nubile dancers is stealing from the till...but which one? Now Megan reverts to her criminal personality, the Lioness. She wants the money in the safe. Taking it would lead to too much suspicion and have her tracked down like a dog by the 9-fingered Anna.
Manipulation and guile rules the day as Megan puts her plan into place. The money is lifted and now Anna wants bloody vengeance, and the cash back. Goldie and Megan are now on the run. Alas, poor Linda, she has no idea Megan is the Lioness. Anna strongarms Linda to find her two partners. Poor Linda, she unwittingly has become the prey for everyone in this film. Now Gino is in on the act, and he turns homicidal. The gals will fall so sadly...as in the old Giallo films, the beautiful die so horribly. But wait! Megan's plan is genius, at least for an exotic dancer...and now the 9 finger Anna and Gino may be in peril, as well. Cat-fights and pre-marital sex will abound, so buckle up.
Will any of our lovelies survive this gratuitous and vicious Shakespearean tragedy? Will Megan off her two sultry partners if it means getting away with the cash? Will Anna have enough fingers to find the lovely trio, torture them, and cut their you-know-what's off? Violent and alluring, the femme fatales in this film will have you cheering. For a prurient good time, see "The Lioness."
