Walk All Over Me
Love. Latex. Larceny.
Arriving in Vancouver from a small town, Alberta (Leelee Sobieski) looks up her former babysitter (Tricia Helfer), and learns she is doing very well as a full-time dominatrix. Thinking it is a route she herself can exploit for some fast cash, she selects a potential client, only to find he is being pursued by three very bad men, who will stop at nothing to retrieve a large sum of money they believe he has stolen from them. The young woman suddenly finds herself both in the middle and in the way.

Not funny and not risque - rnhaas
This movie positions itself as a risque comedy possibly about the perils of being a dominatrix. It's not funny: whether it's the script, the timing or the editing (I think all three), the jokes fall flat. You sit there and observe "oh, that was another joke that didn't work). It's hardly risque and it can't make up its mind. It starts out as a coming of age thing mixed in with exploring BDSM and soon its just a poorly written crime comedy.Entertaing but Confusing - MikeB
An entertaining, but somewhat convoluted plot line. Shift’s from a young girl escaping a boring small town, learning that her sister is a dominatrix in the large city and then attempts to become a film noir when one customer of the dominatrix turns out to be wanted for a money heist from his partners. It’s like a confused Coen brother’s imitation.
The plot keeps shifting and twisting form one location to another – there are three different houses where hostages or activities take place. The family situation did add some comedic value; the women are sisters and two of the thugs are brothers. The leader of the group seemed to be a father to someone but I couldn’t figure that one out.A Mildly Enjoyable Romp. - cathyottawa
Despite the lurid movie cover, this isn't really about the dominatrix thing (though I'm sure the guys will enjoy some of the outfits worn by Tricia Helfer and LeeLee Sobieski).
This is really a silly crime caper movie, with Sobieski playing a naive, sweet girl, who has an uncanny knack for finding trouble. Here, she stumbles right into the middle of some bad guys looking for their stolen money, and the man they believe stole it.
What makes this movie a little bit more special than the average fare is Tricia Helfer's unexpectedly fun character, who turns the damsel in distress thing completely on it's head.
I also enjoyed Sobieski, even if I didn't always believe the motivation was strong enough for some of the things her character does.
