At first blush, Canadian independent film Walk All Over Me looks like a farcical take on what might be best described as the accidental dominatrix scenario, with curious results. The plot entertainingly twists and turns, making for a very entertaining walk on the wild side, reminiscent of Bound, sans lesbianism but with a heavy serving of heavy petting.

In Walk All Over Me, Leelee Sobieski plays Alberta, who escapes an abusive relationship and flees to Vancouver where she looks up the only person she knows, her childhood babysitter, Celene (Tricia Helfer, "Battlestar Galactica's" Number Six). Helfer takes her in, and Sobieski works at a supermarket -- until she sees Helfer raking in $300 an hour as a dominatrix. Sobieski decides to give whip wielding and rubber corsets a spin -- naively impersonating Helfer, topping a male client who's in a whole lot of criminal trouble, and getting both women into a dangerous, action-filled predicament.

It's not difficult to imagine Number Six as a hot dominatrix. In fact, it's been my favourite pastime since I first heard of "Walk All Over Me." Not that it's all that far from Number Six's reach, but Helfer was drawn to the role beyond my more obvious fantasies. Helfer explained, "A lot of women complain about a lack of good roles but the writing was so strong in 'Walk All Over Me.' Additionally it also gave me the chance to do play opposite a female, which is not a type of role I usually get."
