Featured review
SLEAZY DISTURBING NEO-NOIR...GOOD BOLD ACTING & GREAT GUTTURAL ATMOSPHERE
The Slick Neo-Noir Streets of NYC Pop-Out at the Viewer as Striking as any Art-Film.
The Beautifully Gritty Pallet of the Raw City is Accompanied by Bold Acting Turns,
from Meg Ryan, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Mark Ruffalo.
This is All a Come-On for Liberated Women to Watch an Exercise in Inner-Thoughts About Sex from the Female Side.
With a Serial-Killer De-Articulating Women Underneath the Lady's Libido.
Ruffalo is Along for the Ride and is Foul-Mouthed Sleazy and Openly Liberated,
and that Attracts Ryan and Their Sex has Both of Them Coming for More.
The Strength of the Film is its Nightmarish Mood Established Throughout by the Look and Untamed Dialog.
Also Untamed are the Sex-Scenes.
Timid, Shy and the Easily Unsettled About Erotic Cinema Should Stay Far, Far, Away.
The Serial-Killer Plot is Mostly Back-Ground for the Fore-Play,
and is a Frame that the Unabashed Sex is Hung.
All the Actors do a Great Job...
Kevin Bacon Shows-Up as a Wack-O Ex-Boyfriend, Nick Damici is Ruffalo's Cop Partner, and Jennifer-Jason Leigh is Ryan's Half-Sister and Confidant.
Meg Ryan Answers the Call Astoundingly Well,
Willing to Change Her Squeaky-Clean-Image and Boy, Does She Ever.
Not for Everyone.
Sensitive and Easily Offended Types Should Skip This Audaciously Sexually Active Movie that Begs You to Feel Uncomfortable.
Maybe That's the Point, but it's Doubtful.
Perhaps it's Just a Woman Director and a Woman Writer Making a Move on Their Film-Maker Opposites.
The Male's Who Dominate the Sex-Thrillers of This Type and are Confident Enough to Let it All Hang-Out.
Worth a Watch...
But be Prepared for Uninhibited Dialog and Images About Slightly-Off-Beat and Sometimes Disturbing Sex. Upfront and On Full Display.
