It's like a trip into purgatory, and the place is filled with devils and yes, that includes our protagonist. It's like a twisted version of Chinatown but without the big conspiracy but with the incest plot. All with the crazy style and editing a la Oliver Stone.
The thing is J. Lo should have used this role to really help her film career but she screwed it up. She didn't use it to her advantage at all, she didn't bring all the characters out to the surface. But the rest of the cast is crazy, in talent but also in the direction they take the characters. Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Voight, Powers Boothe, Joaquin Phoenix, Claire Danes, Julie Hagerty. All were insane and over-the-top but low-key great.
