Martin R Started out interesting- but degenerates into Hollywood sadistic garbage. People have sex; get money; and backstab each other. The best backstabber is the person to respect. Especially if he/ she has style. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Alain E This is a specific interest movie for people who appreciate David Lynch’s Blue Velvet or Secretary also with James Spader. The adherents to family values and conventional storytelling will be sorely disappointed. It is very well photographed and acted. Madchen Amick is superb in her role of a female weapon of mass destruction. Her character illustrates a typical psychopath: a person whose only intent is to obtain maximal pleasure at the expense of everyone around them. The end is violent but not unjustified. It is very interesting that fashion big names chose to associate with a movie that many reviewers gave half a star! Harry Winston, Prada, Donna Karan, Breitling, Ann Klein and La Perla, to mention the most well known. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Nicholas H Hot off the heels of Twin Peaks, Mädchen Amick proves herself a competent drama actor in yet again another supporting role. She plays the typecast role of the psycho gold digger. James Spader delivers a slightly believable performance in his respective lead role. Though, it is hard to tell, after the 3/4 mark, who is really the lead actor. Written by the distinguished Nicholas Kazan, the film draws from the thrillers of the period, utilizing realism (beyond belief), with all of the campy hallmarks of a femme fatale psychodrama with a twist. Worth the watch, not worth remembering. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Michael B Outstanding psychological thriller with a great cast and stunning villain. Far better than the ratings suggest. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Jelisije J Two solid leads give great performances with such a unique story that I absolutely wish we had another 15 minutes left of the run time because sad to say the film last act while good was a bit to rushed to my liking. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Ray G I really liked the directing of Nicholas Kazan. All acting was great, with James Spader really standing out in this performance. The story was a bit predictable, but interesting. I have to say that the film was pretty good, and is severely overlooked. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
