In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jarvis Scott (Robert Patrick) returns to home in L.A. after finish writing his novel in isolation. His girlfriend committed suicide which affected his writing. His editor Chazz Stone (Matt McCoy) hates the new book. He becomes invested in his neighbors' volatile relationship. He writes a new book with him and his neighbor Dani Payson (Teri Hatcher) as the leads. Dani reveals the abusive relationship is actually a rehearsal for a play. Jarvis starts dating Dani but she keeps pushing him to the edge.This is a rather sad and boring erotic thriller. It has no thrills to speak of. The erotica comes from Teri Hatcher. I don't know if they're real. They are spectacular but they're not enough to make a bad movie good. The actors may be willing but nothing else is. The script is horribly boring. The production is ripped out of every bad 90s late night cable movie.

Well, the above viewer who blasted this film also made the statement 'I haven't seen Robert Patrick in anything else...' Uh huh..., so like have you been a captive on Mars for the last 15 years or what...??? : ) GEEZ, who the hell hasn't heard of T2??!! Anyway, sorry, just had to get that outta the way... Sure, the film has a LOT of ultra-cheeeeeezy clichéd and unnecessary sex scenes; that's a given. So, ignoring those scenes and just taking the movie as a whole as far as atmosphere, acting, suspense, etc. I felt it was quite good; YES, definitely in a low budget B-Movie kinda way, but still well done. And, YES Ms. Hatcher's role was over-the-top as another reviewer mentioned here. I think what I liked primarily was the surreal sense that the film put across quite effectively; there are some scenes where even now (after seeing the film about 3 times) I am not quite sure what is real and what isn't. ****MINOR SPOILER*** Especially the scene where she is making love to the director and Patrick appears to be in the room with them writing on a typewriter asking her enthusiastically what she's gonna do next *****END MINOR SPOILER***** Anything that pulls off a good surreal mood or plays with your mind a little like that is very entertaining to me. So, with all it's many flaws, OVERALL, I honestly feel that the film pulls off a great story with excellent suspense (without having to have people 'SAW' there own foot off, thank you very much : ) and Patrick really does a very effective job in portraying a guy RIGHT on the edge. Good little animal references too and the bit with the wolf and his reaction was a nice touch. Also too, the interesting psychological contrast between how things played out at the director's house, with the way the film ended, was intriguing because your thinking 'Where the heck is this guy really coming from...???' In other words, without getting into an actual 'Spoiler', He appeared to be 'into' what was happening at the director's house, but then at the same time how does that translate into what he does at the end? I think it's just simply that the guy was unraveling from the start, perhaps mentally dislodged from his previous girlfriend's suicide (and then THAT makes you wonder whether her suicide triggered HIS instability OR did his instability trigger her suicide...????!!!) So you see, this movie is not just simply another lousy throw-away; there is a LOT here that really makes you think. Especially if you like films along psychological lines with a touch of the surreal...

Robert Patrick is very hot in this film. Nice twists of plot but who really cares when you can view for eye candy. He is as always a superb actor, but baby, he sets the screen on fire in this one with his sexuality alone!

Being the goddess that she is, Teri Hatcher makes this movie a must see. Although burdened with a weak story and a poor supporting cast, Teri shines.
