I had a hard time sympathlzing with the main character, who travels to the Orient on business and has sex with a strange woman, then risks losing his lovely wife back home and his life to find her. What a jerk!

For something a little more exciting than this movie, you might want to buy some paint, paint a wall, and then sit back and watch it dry. Seriously, this movie may be visually attractive, but it is so INCREDIBLY dull, I fell asleep three times. I'm not sure how Michael Pitt got this gig...but I'd be surprised if he works again. Don't waste your time on this one...

40 minutes is all I could do... Very, very slow moving. The narrating killed me and my friend who was watching it with me. He asked me to please turn it off that he would rather have silence then to keep the movie going. Not worth the watch at all!
