Returning home from work, blue-collar New Yorker Vincent (Norman Reedus) unwittingly stumbles onto the crime scene of his murdered wife. Three years later, he is still inconsolable -- so much so that he is utterly oblivious to his neighbor, Alice (Emmanuelle Béart), and her obsessive affection for him. Wishing to force closure and bring an end to his vigilante murder investigation, Alice uses her allure to snare Roger (Harvey Keitel), a lonely cab driver and the perfect patsy.

Down on their luck characters in New York City become destructively codependent and in general always make the wrong choices. Nice work from Beart and Reedus

The sexy noir aesthetics of this nonsensical bomb of a film are like a paint job struggling valiantly to hold together a bomb of a car.

The story fundamentally is not bad and could have been developed into a decent movie. This one is not - there are too many WTF moments and gaping plot holes, not to mention, New York looks like some foreign city (despite being shot on location). The acting and dialog are not particularly convincing, either.
