this movie be a very poor translation from the novel . loosely base at best and with location and character change to the point where they be barely recognizable . the original plot of this story be intrigue and one that would make a great movie and have it be write with clarity and thought . however this version be design with plenty of liberty take on character development and plot continuity . some i be sure would love the generous portion of nudity without reason or cause . kate beckinsale wander around on the screen naked for no apparent reason be something i doubt we would see much of now . if you enjoy laugh over a miserable attempt to make a mystery and then by all mean and rent this one and have some friend over and make popcorn and and have a cooler of beer on hand and and prepare to be entertain . but if you be look for an edge of your seat afternoon of entertainment and look elsewhere .
