The Lowdown: Remember movies like “Two Moon Junction” or “91/2 Weeks”?

You know, the highly-stylized mainstream “adult” movies that teased viewers with an R-rated sexfest that bordered on porn but never crossed that line into XXX territory.

We’re talking Zalman King’s “Red Shoes Diaries” amped up to feature-film length in order to spotlight a few extra bare buttocks or breasts.

Yeah, so does Jada Pinkett Smith apparently.

“The Human Contract,” her writing and directorial debut, presents such a tumultuous, torrid encounter between Jason Clarke and Paz Vega.

There’s little you need to know about the movie except this:

1 – It tries really hard to be erotic, but really only generates considerable heat during a fantastic limo sex scene where Vega and Clarke are watched by a female driver.

2 – The camera lingers far too long on Clarke’s seven-head (For the follicle-challenged, and that includes your intrepid reviewer, that means this poor guy is three spots past a forehead and should seriously consider shaving his scalp bald).

3 – It’s not very good overall, but as a curious celebrity vanity project, “The Human Contract” warrants a watch if only to get a sense of what stimulates one-half of the world’s second sexiest couple.

The Stuff You Care About:
Hot chicks – Paz Vega, very hot.
Nudity – Yes.
Gore – No.
Drug use – No.
Bad Guys/Killers – None.
Buy/Rent – Rent it.
Release Date – June 30, 2009
