Felecia is cast as an Oriental madam of a posh bordello/casino in this quite limited Vivid release. Toni English later proved to be a fine storyteller at Adam & Eve (see: the great "Naked Hollywood" feature series), but is content with innuendo here instead of action.

Steven St. Croix is hammy as the villain, quick to pull his gun on people, and mean as he threatens to take over the place and lord it over her. Colt Steele is the nominal hero, his acting boring as usual, just an attractive shirt ad hunk. In flashback, Nick East plays the hapless gambler. Problem here, with blame falling on producer-director English and hack writer Cash Markman. The mystery of the Far East and Felecia's enigmatic performance putting me in the mind of one of Orson Welles' "legendary" movie plots, like "The Immortal Story" of "Lady from Shanghai", but alas this is a boring movie, without a satisfying ending, and just lots of sex scenes presenting Felecia's prostitutes in action.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

Mahershala Ali and Alex R. Hibbert in Moonlight (2016)

A high roller named Duce visits a casino/bordello in old Pasadena, run by Mizz Ling, and populated by Asian prostitutes, where free sex is offered to the gamblers instead of free booze. When he gets involved in a card game with a reckless gambler named Lucky, and a Victor Lorenzo, a man with possible mob connections, the stakes, including a couple of the women of the house, dramatically increase.
