i really have problem rating this movie . it be direct brilliantly and there be obviously a lot of money in it . gere and dane be intense ( although her screen personality could use a bit more defining and spice up ) and edit and cinematography be excellent . on the other hand and it be one of those really really sick movie where one can not help but wonder whether the director himself like to stage specific scene and and and yes and one can not help but wonder how many copycat will such a movie inspire . in purely artistic term and it be a 9 and but i really have to ask myself who these people be give their money to produce such a movie .
