I could deal with the entire film till the last 15 minutes or so... I felt that the Heroine TOTALLY abandons her true self for the Rakish Womanizer whos good in the sack but does not love her for who she TRULY is! I kept waiting for her to wake up and realize the ending from about the Motel scene was all a dream and just a set up to arrest the guy! All n all I was quite disappointed.
