True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

You can call this B, C or D movie, but this could surprise you. Well, it did for me. It was much better than what I anticipated. Of course, because of not so popular actors or the filmmakers, including low budget, this looks ordinary from the outside. But once you begin to watch, you might forget those and get interested in the narration. The story of a young Russian foreign exchange student who lands in a small English town with a secret past that going to haunt her back.A simple story, mostly predictable stuffs with some flaws, but well made film with good performances, particularly by the title character. An awesome mix of adult contents, comedy and thriller, surely worth a watch. I can't believe it took nearly a decade to watch this that I had all along. No regret, but that makes I'm very bad at judging product by its cover. So I advise you not to do that. Remember, this is not a must see, this is to watch when there's no option. But for some people, that's an exception.6/10

Far better than I ever excepted.When Netflix suggested this movie I was under the impression that it was going to be an erotic thriller about strippers, but I got much more for my money. I was under the impression that it was going to be a movie about a A-plus student name Natasha who was about to study abroad, and became a stripper like her cousin Anna, who she was living with, in order to pay for it. What ended up happening was Natasha gets killed when they mistake her for Anna who just witness her boss getting murdered by mobsters. Now Anna pretends to be Natasha and goes to England to hide out where she shakes up the small Christian town she's hiding out in.The flick not only has erotica with many naked stripper dancing scenes, but it also has action with Natasha being chased by the mob and the mob being hunted down by this sexy action cop. Plus it's funny, with the fish out of water story in Ana pretending to be Natasha and being something very unexpected by Natasha's host family, who could use a little shaking up.This movie is so perfect with a nice blend of sex and violence with humor I got way more than I expected.

This movie was a thriller? Really? I found it more to be somewhat of a strange hybrid of a teen movie and a crime movie, but never really managing to score high on any genre in particular.The story in "Natasha" was quite simple, and really predictable, which made the movie somewhat boring. Natasha (played by Elena-Cristina Marchisano) is an A-grade student in Russia who has earned a place in an exchange student program and is scheduled to go to England and study for a year. But a tragic event takes places and Natasha ends up dead, shot dead, taking a bullet that was meant for Anna (played by Algina Lipskis). Scared and at a loss, Anna takes on Natasha's person and identify and goes to England, pretending to be Natasha. Here she stays in a small town, living with a vicar and his family, but the young Russian turns out to turn the entire family's life upside down. But her ties to Russia runs deep and by sheer luck, the criminals there manages to find out about her whereabouts.Fairly straight forward story, although it wasn't anything unique or particularly interesting. All throughout the movie, you sit with the feeling that this movie was just a long, continual randomly put together short video clips, because there wasn't a visible red line through the movie, and it was far too jumpy to be properly coherent.The acting in "Natasha" was fairly average, nothing out of the usual here to be seen. So don't expect any award-winning performances here.There is a lot of unnecessary nudity in this movie, and it does absolutely nothing to further the story along in anyway. It actually borders on the edge of being pornographic and tasteless. I found it to be hindering to the movie and it just slowed the movie down, making it more difficult to sit through.Also, it made me wonder why all people in Russia speaks English, and not Russian. Personally, I hate it when they make movies and don't use the native language to the location of the movie, but opt to use some horrible, stereotypical accent instead.This movie failed to make any kind of lasting impression on me, and I can honestly say that this is a movie that I will not be watching a second time.

After seeing the cover and reading the really horrible plot outline on IMDb i thought that this was going to be one of those horrible movies where pretty much everything is about sex with some weak plot used to make it slightly different then soft core porn.But this was actually good.Naturally they were some weak spots in the movie but overall it was a good idea,the acting was decent most of the time,you grow to like the characters and both Anna/Natasha and Christine were very beautiful and sweet girls and you grow to like them .And the more sexy scenes were done tastefully Overall for such a low budget movies they did an excellent job.I recommend it to everybody
