A film noir-ish Wild Things lite. A little on the cheesy side, but it was well made enough to be enjoyable to me.

Great cast with a terrific Woody Harrelson, but the plot is just virtually uninteresting. This has some nice moments but I did'nt care what was going on and I did'nt care for the characters. The script is convuluted and predictable. It tries to emulate classic noir thrillers of the 50's, but it moves at too slow of a pace to keep me interested and too many twists don't make much sense. Had some potential, but failed to deliver and amounted to a dull, disappointing mess of a film.
