/edit: take a look at the Demographic breakdowns for this movie. average female vote: 9.0 average male vote : 6.3

and two reviews withn "uu, i love sam page.. uu.." come on girls, get a life and don't spam your reviews with talking of handsome protagonists. his acting is horrible. the movie horrible.

similar Demographic breakdowns for us- and non-us citizens ;).

here the non-pink-elephant-spectacles-movie../edit

i can't really imagine why this little totally uninspired film gets (up to this date) a higher rating than "the usual suspects", "taxi driver", "fight club" not even mentioning the films, that usually attract a quit different audience like "rashomon" and "the third man" when it's coming to the thriller genre: a 9 out of 10! come on, get a life.

so maybe i divide this comment into the positive and negative aspects, but since i can't think of something that is worth mentioning on the positive i better start right away with the criticism.

what does a little thriller make worth watching? with the help of the story and the mastery of the director you have to get involved in the movie, identifying with the protagonist(s) in order to be surprised, to feel them, to be curious what their destiny is running to. since the "introduction" is about ten minutes long, the "cut out of a bad glamour magazine"-actors have no time to develop a relationship to the viewer. i would doubt that if they had 10 hours they would manage this though. they have to be the most boring actors i saw, even for the b-movie genre.

the storyline is horribly shallow and causal. there is not even one little twist in it. one of the baddest scripts there is. a first class student would make a better working concept. so not enough the director tries to force something interesting into it with to scenes of totally uninspired "blood shots".

"Spain surely is one of the world's most beautiful spots, but it has rarely been shown that hot and sexy in a movie." the first reviewer wrote. yeah, and if you were there you could imagine, but with a shot on the villa and one on the beach this is pure bul"""t to say such a thing. you get to see NOTHING from spain.

"They say there's a moment in every person's life. The moment the rest of your life will be judged by. But what if that moment happened and you weren't even in the room." oh god, how i wished i weren't even in the room when this mess was running! believe me. spare your time. it is a clear 1 vote and i never did that before..
