Once again set in the oceanfront Florida city of Blue Bay, "Wild Things 3" tells the tale of snobby rich girl Marie Clifton. Although she lives the life of luxury, Marie's distraught over her stepfather not giving her a pair of diamonds, valued at over $4 million, that are entitled to her in her late mother's will. That is, until one of her classmates, the local bad girl Elena Sandoval, accuses her stepfather of rape. Soon, it's deja Vi all over again as Detective Michael Morrison and probation officer Kristen Richards investigate, but as with the first "Wild Things" everything is not what it seems to be, and everybody has secrets to hide.

User Reviews

Nice-looking girls, what else could you ask?

I think WT3 is a pretty decent movie, much better than the second, but don't expect a clever movie because you'll be disappointed. The plot doesn't differ too much from the first movie, a man accused of raping a young girl plus the difficult relationship with his step-daughter (Sarah Laine) with the diamonds in the middle. The low-class girl is interpreted by Sandra McCoy as Neve Campbell did that role in the first. Both girls are very good-looking, especially Laine. There's treason, blackmail and a well-thought scheme (at least in the minds of the characters). The revealing ending shows with flashbacks during the credits the key points of the plot, a surprising finale that is hard to anticipate. So, if you like WT1 you definitely will enjoy this one. I give WT3 Diamonds in the Rough 6/10.
