The filmmakers go to great lengths to create a sense of authenticity, to a fault. We are left to assume a lot about who is what and where they fit in

Excels in its moody portrayals and intrigue, although confusion with plot points occasionally distracts

You won't find a much bigger Keitel fan than me, but not even the actor's patented brand of wide-eyed lunacy can save this one.

If you've got a tired story, hide it under some gorgeous scenery by setting the film in an exotic locale

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, full of cliches. Harvey Keitel is probably ashamed that he acted in this movie. Rural Italy is not all in Tuscany and Italian people do NOT live the way that the Director would like you to believe. From 1 to 10 I give it a 0.5. Appalling.

This movie, filmed in a stunningly beautiful small town in Italy, should have been much better. The plot was interesting but the execution was weakened by the use of melodramatic flares which became increasingly ridiculous as the movie progressed, weak acting by Joshua Jackson and overly flamboyant acting by Harvey Keitel.

Pleasant but ordinary. Beautiful scenery. Good cast fails to elevate this movie beyond its predictable limitations.
