    • Quotes

      Eve Abergray: We had a fight. A horrible, horrible fight.

      Ann Hecker: A physical fight?

      Eve Abergray: He started torturing me. Bring me close and stopping and bring me close again. And then he stopped. And took his necktie and tied my hands together in front of me. He had a rope, which he'd strung over a rafter. And he put a chair under it and ordered me to stand on it. There's a noose on the rope, and... he... told me to put my neck into it. He took a polaroid of me. And the flash blinded me. But when I could see again he was behind me, whispering in my ear. He told me that he owned me, and that he could kick the chair out from me and I'd hang. And then... he... knelt in front of me, and begang to make love to me as I stood there. I've never come so hard in all my life. I just convulsed.

    6/10
    Contrived but absorbing.
    A pretty standard mystery thriller, but absorbing nonetheless. The sometimes impossibly contrived plot is chock-full of strange coincidences and red herrings, but the film is so competently and professionally made that you can ignore the script's weaknesses and enjoy the work of a director who seems to have a genuine feel for the genre. Most of the performances are also very good, giving weight to their roles and making the movie more respectable. (**1/2)
