a i sit in front of the tv watch this movie and i thought and oh and what alfred hitchcock and or even brian depalma and could have do with this . chance be and you will too . it do start out intrigue . a british park ranger living in los angeles ( collin firth ) marry a pretty and demure brunette woman ( lisa zane ) whom he meet in a park only a short time ago . then and one day she dissappears . the police be unable to find any documentation that she ever exist and and firth conduct his own search . so far and so good . just a he about to give up and he turn to his womanize best friend ( billy zane ) and and they stumble onto her former life in l. a. sordid underground of drug and nightclub and and ametuer filmmaking and and then to her history of mental instability . at that point and firth life be in danger and and the film fall apart . none of the character from lisa zane past be remotely interesting . the film move slowly and and there very little action . there be a subplot regard miss drug money and but it just a throwaway . no chase and no cliffhanging sequence and and no suspense . just some dull beating and a lot of chat by bore character . one thing worth note and lisa zane and billy zane be brother and sister and but they never appear in a scene together . by the end of the movie and youre tear between wonder what might have be and try to stay awake .
