I mean, isn't it? Stressed out pseudo-insomniac loner creates alter ego (who manifests himself in the form of another actor) to do "dirty work" or otherwise fulfill the loner's fantasies and desires? The irony being not only that this is a film ABOUT plagiarism but that the screenwriter/director also wrote "Panic Room" which was directed by David Fincher who directed "Fight Club."
As for the actual review: It's not well structured, the suspenseful moments border on the comic, Johnny Depp is clearly burned out from filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" because of how similar in speech and mannerism this character is to Jack Sparrow, and that "perfect ending" of his? Sucks! Corn? "Her murder will be a mystery even to me?" That's awful! I should know, I'm a writer, I can tell a crap ending when I hear one.
In short, and despite a yeoman's effort from both Depp and the grossly-underrated John Turturro, get "Fight Club" instead. It's better.
