Egoyan in more mainstream mood than usual, with a slick mystery set in the 1970s, when a young journalist (Lohman)... read more on Time Out

A gripping whodunnit with a Hitchcock-esque twist. Not to be missed.

I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!
Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth are 2 fine actors who usually appear in pretty decent (or at least entertaining stuff). Unfortunately, this is neither. The 2 stars seem uncomfortable in their roles and play sleazy, hedonistic characters whom you can't relate to or feel any sympathy for. The female lead looks like she should still be at school, and her acting abilities, or lack of, supports this! The plot has a very obvious 'twist' and the whole thing is just very disappointing from beginning to end. It only gets 2 stars cos I love the male leads, but boys what on Earth made you sign up for this drivel?? Very disappointing and would be a minus if not for Firth and Bacon

A good plot gone wrong
After watching the movie you would probably agree that the story had great potential for a good mystery/suspense movie. But the acting from the lead actors were pretty appalling. Also there was one too many sexually explicit scenes - the director seems to sacrifice a nice plot too easily. Hope for a better remake 20 years down the line.
