Warning: Spoilers
The spoilers will only appear in the last paragraph, though I'm guessing that for some, those wouldn't even count as spoilers. But let's start with the good things. The movie has a really nice cinematography going for it. The main actress tries her best and really puts herself out there for the viewer.

Unfortunately the story (more on that on the next/last paragraph) does not hold up to any of that. Though it almost drifts into the erotic film category, it still remains a thriller with a sour taste.

Now the spoilers beginning with a comparison. It doesn't flatter the movie, but even Fatal Attraction had more suspense going for it (and that was very straightforward in pointing out the villain and the protagonist). While the main character isn't a good guy here, our woman is behaving as crazy as one can imagine. Which brings up the question, why he wouldn't cut her loose way earlier. If the picture the movie is painting is correct, he should've seen the signs. The dreams and the twist ending give it a little edge. But not enough to really put it in a category that the director would have loved to see it (imho)
