    If you're a fan of Ms. Natasha Henstridge, then this film is one of a very short list of titles worth renting. This quasi film-noir explores twists and turns when a wealthy gangster (played by the appropriately creepy Peter Fonda) sends Ms. Henstridge to locate a former employee who went on the lambwith 2 million of his money. The film keeps you guessing which side Crystal Ball (Natasha) is on. A resonably good film, worthy of viewing by Henstridge fans. Also, check out Species I, The Whole 9 Yards, and and the lesser known Maximum Risk (which has a much steamier scene with Henstriges, as some fine directing).

    I recommend this movie it had enough intrigue to keep me interested and the characters were great. The two main characters, MacFadyen and Henstridge are excellent actors and made this a really good movie.

    With a good member rating and a plot that sounds good, this movie had a chance to move up to 4 stars. However . . . sketchy plot line and really unlikable characters make me wonder what I was missing. I even fell asleep during this and I watched it in the middle of the afternoon. all i can say is awful, awful, awful.
