Greed corruption and murder amongst the rich and beautiful with a poor person taking the fall is hardly a new plot.
The key is how, what is effectively a genre piece, is put together.
The scenery is beautiful as is the design. The music is good and not obtrusive in the way it often is these days. The cinematography is luscious, lovingly displaying the rippling muscles of Toy Boy.
The acting is variable. The script, oh well, it is not important in a film like this.
BUT one surprising element and one totally unexpected is the relationship between the mute man and the gay son of the leading lady. Touching and genuine and beautifully done.
Enjoyable fluff for a long languid weekend just don't take it seriously.
