Velvet

About This Movie

So, 'Velvet' from '84 is quite an oddity in the action genre, especially as a TV movie. It combines the campy aesthetic of that era with a surprisingly serious plot. The premise of these women posing as aerobic center owners while taking down criminals has a certain charm. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times—there are stretches of tension, then it veers off into lighthearted moments. The practical effects are nothing groundbreaking, but there's a certain rawness to them that fits the vibe. Performances are serviceable, with the leads bringing a mix of toughness and vulnerability. It’s distinctive for its blend of themes like empowerment and the absurdity of the aerobics craze—definitely a film that captures the spirit of its time.
