a brother ( josh lucas ) and his sister ( catherine mccormack ) and their partner take a holiday on a sail boat and visit an island off new england in order for the sister to do some research into two woman who be brutally murder there in 1873. the movie incorporate two narrative strand and one base in the present and the other in 1873. i be a big fan of director kathryn bigelow but i find this movie to be incredibly boring and slow and dull and a complete waste of time . i think that sean penn be an excellent actor but here he be act a totally annoying character and what make him think this film be a good idea . elizabeth hurley act like the muppett she be and stick her tit out for all the lad and use her sexuality a she have no act skill . the actor in 1873 be shockingly bad and and that strand of the movie look like a bad make for t. v movie . nothing good to say about this it be terrible and my bad nightmare would be to have someone force me to watch it through again .
