    I like the idea behind this film, but the execution felt unfocused. I don't expect movies about death to be exciting exactly, but all the scenes still felt unnecessarily drawn out and excruciatingly boring.

    That being said, the performances were great, and there was some interesting camerawork as well.

    The movie caught me very off guard, and not in a good way. Going into the theater, I thought J-Law's character was supposed to be a spy who seduces men to get what she needs....not a normal person who literally gets trained in the art of touching nipples (rub a man's dick and he gets aroused?!?!

    ★★

    It's like an alien watched a bunch of Godard movies and 30 episodes of the West Wing and said yeah, I understand how humans interact now!
