    this was very slow moving but actually turned out all right it was like a dark drama i guess you could say. worth a rent if your in the mood for a slow flick. oh and be warned you can tell that all the characters dialogue was written by the same person.

    Winona rider and ray ramono DO SHOW off their acting skills in this dud of a fick.WITHOUT them this movie would be a ZERO star movie.. But unfiortunately the script is so boring that you just dont care about them...Its a shame, its a waste of film.And a waste of time .Their are better movies to put in your que.

    Simply put: Winona is, in my opinion, a bad to fair actor. In the most emotional or intense scenes her false emotions are distracting. She even seemed to be high or drunk before the scene called for it. Overall a pretty good and original movie though.
