7/10
stylish and convincing drama
21 April 2006
Certainly an entertaining mystery novel, dressed up with sex scenes and continuous intrigues. All the three leads act properly, script and setting are appropriate and sharp; it's hard, as far as I can see, to find negative points in this film, apart from the long runtime. The drama is sexy and stylish at the same time and turns out in a meditation on identity, truth, lies. Alison Lohamn is inspired and very attractive, Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth terrific as usually. Besides the flick has some elements of humor, that is new for this director. It lacks the feeling of danger, that it would aim at giving with those locked rooms, but it manages to rise above a decently executed movie, that's sure.
