Great idea, flawed execution
5 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The premise was terrific- a businesswoman in a South American country stops at a mansion after her car breaks down, but is assaulted by the owner. He attempts to kill her, but she outwits and kills him in self-defense. She hides the body, but it turns out that her assailant was a locally revered war hero, and her husband is a journalist who has angered the government with his coverage of local human rights abuses. Problem is partly the low budget, but also the fact that the screenwriters and producers didn't know what to do with it. The result is a mediocre, cheap-looking mystery/thriller that grinds to a predictable ending. Too bad.
