Avant garde music is the highlight, 5 June 2000
3/10
Author: Mikael Carlsson (moviescore@swipnet.se) from Gothenburg, Sweden

A peculiar, however stylish thriller with highly unlikely story and poor acting. The highlight of this film is actually the original score by Don Davis, today best known for his postmodern, avant-garde score for The Matrix. Film music buffs should hunt down this film and close their eyes for a very original musical experience.
