It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The story behind this movie is so commonplace and so potentially full of clichés that is really a challenge for us to see the hidden truth. But we should for our own good forget about Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger and focus more on ourselves. It is our story here our drama - how we let a million things destroy what we feel and what we love. The writer of this movie tells us how the artist, a painter manages to focus only on what is most important. Shouldn't we do the same? Escape all the obstacles and eventually find love.

In order for an audience to comprehend a Fifty Shades Grey, Darker, Freed trilogy (thrillogy), an original Nine & A Half Weeks should be watched to. This is a original love story between alike which evolves freely in a grayish dark atmosphere of their simplified wish to be eternally selfishly loved and adored which is, of course, impossible.

After being mesmerized by Mickey Rourke's performance in 'Angel Heart' last week, I went on a mini shopping spree for some of his movies. '9 1/2 Weeks' was one of the choices.This movie kept me smiling and giggling throughout. It has so much sex appeal (as does Mickey) and the two of them have serious chemistry between each other!If you're looking for a movie with a serious plot line, don't bother with '9 1/2 Weeks.' But if you just want a movie to have fun with and really get your blood pumping, this is the movie for you! And this goes for both women AND men!

Mysterious man (read: weirdo) keeps bumping into blonde woman (read: bimbo) in greater New York City, so they decide to have an affair.Mikey Rorke and Dim Bayfinger are the puppets this time around in another of director Adrian Linn's patented misfires. Linn's use of photography, sets, editing, music, and continuity falls under the 'you've-seen-it-all-before' school of film-making. Concludes with the inevitable unveiling of the mystery man's true neuroses and loneliness. Boring supporting characters don't help.Unsophisticated rubbish trying to be sophisticated. Pass. Try a John Derek-directed film instead.
