Heather Graham ditches boring soccer loving boyfriend for mercurial mountaineer Adam (Fiennes), a story as old as Eve herself. But is it a case of the moth getting too close to the flame. All is not quite as it seems in this thriller/love story.
The sex scenes are quite graphic, although it is once again Fiennes butt that gets the exposure with Graham staying chastely clothed for much of the between the sheets action... maybe she's shy about her ample but sagging breasts?
Fiennes is plausible as the the taciturn mountaineer given at times to extremes of violence. Graham is every inch the nosy and suspicous American chick. The director has obviously studied thrillers and tried, not always successfully, to introduce some good parts. I was reminded of 'Dead Calm' amongst others. But the tension is lacking from the end as by now you've sussed out Adam and his all too friend sister.
