WHY NEED GUNS WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THE BODY

This movie was a big surprise for me. Linda Hamilton playing a simple Russian woman must be challenging. It was kind of kinky for having the Russian women learn about our way of life in the USA. Saying that sex is our religion sounded very absurd to me, back in 1985, it was and it will be throughout the world. Watching Hamilton's character Elena disrobe in front of the other women sounded disturbing, but when everyone else started to do that, it sent shivers down my spine. It's was really about love and escape from the country she served, and she was able to do it that was good. This movie is great for the 80's buff. 4 OUT OF 5 STARS.
