A important work for our time.
7 November 2004 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Scott Speedman and James Marsden's one-night stand turns into an intense power play between captor and captive.

A independent film adaptation from a play by Tony Piccirillo and directed by same, is a tour de force with very good acting by Scott Speedman and James Marsden. Although straight forward and attentively simple, one is easily engrossed by the story. The dialog carries well, and the ending very human.

It's not often I enjoy simplified concept pieces but this was vital and endurable for the criticssm.

A flawless, and beautifully moving film. A important work for our time.
