6/10
Bit of an odd cocktail, but watchable (minor spoilers)

Watched this one on Netflix Watch-now, so didn't have many expectations. Intentionally or not, kind of an indefinable blend of styles. Turns up the erotic dial pretty high sometimes so that it starts to seem like one of those Japanese 'pink eiga' (think late night on Showtime), but it also throws in some humor, some action/suspense, large helpings of conversation, while mixing a reality TV feel at times with pure fantasy. Maybe the biggest 'never seen that before' aspect for me was having a guy who could both be a creepy voyeur type and a real social charmer. Not a combo I've seen. Some of the acting feels amateurish, and I can't say that the female lead ever comes across as much more than a nice-looking chick, but the film holds your interest regardless.
