This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There's some good stuff in To the Limit and not all of them are to do with the lovely lead. Jim Halfpenny's score is a real highlight, his Kamen-esc style adding much suspense to the flick. I also think the direction is pretty standard for PM Entertainment. It certainly feels like a PM movie with its neon lighting and contrast. I really dig Anna Nicole Smith in this. She's so beautiful it hurts and I think she kicks butt in several of the shootout scenes. Only downside is that, like everyone else her acting isn't so good. Even the great Joey Travolta looks utterly bored except in the love making scene with Anna. I didn't find the plot that interesting to be honest. I would expect a PM Entertainment film to have at least a mildly engaging storyline but this doesn't. It isn't great but as a heterosexual teenage boy it does the job. Good shootouts, cool music and a lead with looks that will take your breath away. 6/10

Yet another stinker from PM Entertainment, this one possibly being their worst, and especially if your a Gay boy like me, there is no reason to watch, you get to see The late Anna Nicole's Huge Breasts, her ass and even her bush at various points in this 'movie' which has to be it's only selling point, Yeah I Can understand straight boys find her attractive but a movie based on her showing her tits and bush throughout - it is a very shoddy excuse for a movie, as Anna Nicole isn't an actress. All she says between stripping off is 'Oh Sh*t' or 'Oh, Fu*k' between being banged by some guy or other, The 'plot' is totally incoherent and the acting by everybody is appalling, the script is dire and the action sequences are abysmal, If your a straight guy or a gay girl, you will enjoy seeing Anna-Nicole's showing her lady parts, other than that, give it a miss, If you're wondering why Anna-Nicole never became a 'actress' then look so further, amazingly Dick & Joe of PM Entertainment hired her again for 'Skyscraper' so obviously this made some money on Anna getting her titties out* out of *****

Watch this and you too will see that Anna Nicole Smith has no acting ability at all. The only thing she adds to this movie is big boobs and that's it. Throughout this movie, the acting is dreadful. And at the time when Anna was starting to put on a lot of her weight, she was hefty here, and that's putting it lightly. Stay away from this movie. Do not rent this just for Anna Nicole Smith.

Can former Playboy Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith act? Who says that she can? Is Anna Nicole Smith appealing? That would be a definite yes. She is an absolute knockout. As a thriller though, TO THE LIMIT is ludicrous with a plot that just does not make sense. The concept at first sounds promising, but the movie's plot is just overwhelming with too many perfunctory twists and turns that are never fully explained. The connoisseur of mindless movies may feel very alienated by this film's overly sophisticated plot. Anyway, with that said, TO THE LIMIT is bearable. Thanks to the electrifying presence of Anna Nicole Smith, TO THE LIMIT is (barely) endurable. Despite the fact that Anna Nicole Smith is an inept and terrible actress (I'm not meant to be scathing, she does try.), she has done her best in this movie.Well, the story (You are probably saying, "You mean to tell me that there is actually a REAL plot?!") concerns Frank Da Vinci (Joey Travolta, shameful brother of John Travolta), a proficient hitman and Vietnam Veteran who tries to escape from his violent past. His attempts at both marriage and starting a new life over have dramatically ended in an unnecessary and senseless massacre. His future bride is gunned down, several of his friends are murdered...and Da Vinci himself has barely escaped death...Then Colette (Anna Nicole Smith), a femme fatale with her own modus operandi, arrives at the scene of the crime. She has vowed revenge after her husband, China Smith (Michael Nouri in an embarrassing cameo) is killed by a car bomb. The lives of both Colette and Da Vinci intertwine and they inevitably develop an infatuation on each other. Their alliance has turned into a romance. I think we all know what that means!Meanwhile, a boorish villain with tattoos all over his body wants a valuable item: a compact disk that contains some vital though egregious information about interesting stuff. This bad dude has attempted to assassinate Da Vinci...TWICE! Now, this villain is trying to exterminate several of Da Vinci's mob buddies including Philly (John Aprea) and Joey (David Proval).The quest for the compact disk is in progress as Frank Da Vinci and Colette must retrieve this conundrum of an item before the evil forces do. However, Da Vinci learns that Colette also has a dark secret. Can she be trusted? Is she really Frank Da Vinci's ally, or a secret foe bent on retribution?TO THE LIMIT is supposed to be a sequel to an earlier film titled DA VINCI'S WAR (1993). Though this picture, filmed ostensibly with a limited budget, is plagued with problems galore, I still found it to be pleasingly entertaining. The main attraction is of course Anna Nicole Smith. Yes, there are ample opportunities for her to expose herself uncensored in this film...and indeed, she takes advantage of all these chances she earns. TO THE LIMIT has its share of gratuitous sexual situations and unclothed females. As a bonus, the viewer is indulged in a number of scenes of our leading lady either in bed, in the shower, or taking a bath.Moreover TO THE LIMIT, has enough slam-bang action in this movie to hold a B-movie lover's interest. The pyrotechnics are surprisingly good and the action proceeds at an apt pace. As well, there are some intelligent (though rather sportive) one-liners. The dialogue may be funny, but at least the cast does not remotely try to be too serious. Smith herself is a feisty person. She inspires to be hard-boiled, yet she still wants to retain her femininity. Anna Nicole Smith is kind of goofy, but that is what adds to her liveliness. She is one glorious lady.Although the actors and actresses are not bad, considering that they are not expert thespians, there is still plenty of room for improvement. Anna Nicole Smith in particular needs to polish her acting. Sometimes, I have trouble discerning whether she is acting stern or sassy. Another of this film's shortcomings is its story-line. The convoluted plot about revenge, betrayal, dirty federal agents, and criminal masterminds is too complex for its own good. It's tough to follow, believe me! Some of the extraneous characters should have also been eliminated. Do not get discouraged though, this film is full of "eye candy" which compensates for a deficiency of logic.TO THE LIMIT is perfect viewing for the undemanding, non-discriminating viewer who revels in these ultra *low-budget* action films. Sure, this movie is trash. Sure, you will feel guilty afterwards, but if you have always wanted to see your favorite Anna Nicole Smith portray a sexy heroic agent, then look no further.I shall acknowledge the notion that the cast and crew have unexpectedly done their best in manufacturing both a workable plot and character development. I also guarantee that Anna Nicole Smith is certainly a visual asset. As long as there are the desired car chases (and crash and burns), the explosive shoot-outs, the beautifully seductive girls, and the high-risk stunts, why should there be a need to complain about the movie's amateurish style?RATING: ** out of ****.
