Your Opinions and Comments
As if the original novel was not bad enough, this movie is quite literally the most un-coherent piece of crap to hit the silver screen in recent years.
Well yeah, the mixture of sanity and insanity is intriguing, but where the HELL is the plot?
The video transfer is ok. There is not too much gore. There are no compression signs either.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ordinary, but rarely uses the surrounds.
The menus are still and simple to navigate.
The extras include an interview with the lead actor and a short behind the scenes look. Nothing unusual here.
The movie was called "a sexy thriller". Well, it is neither sexy (unless you find the idea of slaughtering your date a sexy idea) nor is it thrilling at any stage. Avoid.
Another American shoddy effort.
