Storyline
Textile company heir Wayland is accused of murder of a prostitute named Elizabeth, whose body was found cut in two in the park. The murder is investigated by tough detective Kennesaw and his less experienced partner Braxton. Wayland is a heavy drinker and compulsive liar, he is prone to memory losses and periods of heavy violence. He is rich enough to access necessary information, and he gets the interrogators' own dark secrets - Kennesaw is angry about affairs his wife had and had let off steam with Elizabeth, and Braxton has gambling debts with Mook, who is demanding payment.

..with celebrities such as Tim Roth, Renee Z, and Chris Penn...I have the answer. This movie was beyond horrible. The blatant anachronisms are never explained, the "twist" was anything but...and well, shoot (imdb wouldn't allow me to say spell out a different word..even when i tried to use alternative spelling-huh, what a family friendly site!), folks..save your dollar and/or time and don't bother. I'm also adding text here because my initial review was very brief--I attempted to just tell you'll that this movie stinks...but apparently I have to go on. and on. and on. so once again, don't see this movie. it stinks. it stinks.
P.S. don't believe reviewers that tell you must be intelligent to "get" this movie. if you don't get it, it's because the movie failed miserably. period. period.
