i do not understand why the review of this film be so universally bad and unless i be just off my rocker . i find it sick and brilliant and twisted and and psychologically sophisticated . you would not get deeply into the mind of a criminal psychopath in a hollywood film than this one . it have layer within layer and nuanced acting by stone and and a plot that will keep you guess even after it over . people need to get over the fact that sharon stone be 48 and and that michael douglas isn not in this one . i predict that this film will be a huge hit on dvd once people see it for themselves and stop pay attention to the drivel professional reviewer put out . give it a shot and you might be glad you do .
