Fantastic!
... View MoreThe film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View MoreIt is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

... View MoreThis is a real pathetic attempt at a modern-day film noir. The concept was good, but was truly executed poorly! Starting first with:DIALOGUE - Excruciatingly painful. The dialogue between characters was similar to a screen test gone wrong. Some conversations seemed mismatched. At some points in the movie it seemed that conversing characters' lines weren't matching. If this was an editing error, then its an embarrassing one. STORYLINE/PLOT - Very transparent; a person born blind and deaf could see what was going to happen before it happened and is finality. And what was the point keeping certain aspects of the story a secret?!? There was no mystery about this movie whatsoever! (Except the mystery about how it was given the green light) And what was with the ending? It was so asinine, I'm not even going attribute it any space in this review. I will say this: if it was a way of bringing the story around, it was a sad attempt.CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT - Big zero! I'm not even sure who this movie was about. Apparently, the writers hadn't the first clue who the main character was; her or him? And their own story didn't mesh; it was very amateur. Also, I don't really believe that the main character - at his age whose living in LA - is THAT pious and innocent. And let's say - JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT - if this character really was that pious and innocent, he wouldn't break so easily. And if this story was about him I would think that his decline would've been the main focus; perhaps delved into a bit more. But alas, it wasn't. In conclusion: this movie was so pathetically embarrassing, don't tell anyone you saw it.
... View MoreIf I had to give an award for some of the worst acting, it would go to this movie. I was ashamed to see Gina Gershon doing so poorly in the role of a (crooked) uniformed police officer. Not only was the plot predictable, but the acting stunk. It surprised me because Gina did a great job as Castor Troy's girlfriend in FACE/OFF. So, if you want to see a boring, predictable police "whodunnit" flick, then see it. My advice = forget it. James Handy played the Captain, or Lieutenant, or Sergeant, I forgot, but he's the jerk who plays Internal Affairs, or "IAB" as they call it on NYPD BLUE. He's another character who's acting is predictable, and his character is never really liked. But I guess that's what he's good at. Only actor who was worth his salt was Ron Silver. He does a convincing role as an investigator, but towards the end kind of just fades away! SKIP THIS ONE
... View MoreI caught this film on HBO last night and started off thinking it was going to suck (like most B-Movie late night fare, uncut or not), but once Gina Gershon enters the picture (about 10 minutes in), the picture starts to really take off, building up a clever web of erotic tension and suspense that kept me glued to the screen, waiting to see what was going to happen next. The stereotypical ending--despite catching me off guard for some reason (maybe because it was 5 am or I couldn't believe they resorted to such a hackneyed gimmick, you decide)--is a bit of a letdown, but don't let that stop you from watching what turned out to be a surprisingly good erotic thriller (despite having extremely minimal nudity, none of it Ms. Gershon's, which I thought odd considering her role certainly warranted it). I give it a 7 out of 10 (it would have warranted an 8 if not for the ending). Worth a rental or purchase (or staying up well past your bedtime in my case). If you like cop films and/or erotic thrillers, this is a pleasant surprise that you should make the effort to track down. I don't know why the director, Yuri Zeltser, has not made more films; he certainly shows a lot of talent. Congratulations to Ms. Gershon for a wonderful "bad girl" performance!
... View MoreUnworthy police-story. The woman is beautiful and erotic as every man wants. We know that. Stereotype! But the story is thin. At the end he shoots the woman. Why? Bad detective work. I became angry during the movie. Young and green this way: terrible. But: Put off your clothes because of the suspense was funny and good to remember.
