“Love At What Co$t” (*1/2 out of four) was a sordid underworld melodrama not worth the cost of a rental about a single mother (Diamond Starr) with a secret life as a stripper who meets a record producer (Kaamel Hasaun) who draws her into a world of duplicity, sex, and danger that she finds hard to turn away from. Routine enough to insult anyone’s intelligence and with ugly dialogue and violence shoved in your face in equal measure. Starr also directed, executive produced, and casted but I sure hope this clunker wasn’t a labor of “love” for her.
