this film try and but ultimately it be a waste of talent . it try to hard to be sexy . i be not put down the work of such actress a ellen barkin and peta wilson ( who will find something besides tv le femme nikita worthy of her talent . ) i just do not find and even in ms. wilson so call near seduction scene with mrs. barkin any real emotion and even though i know the thespian try very hard to make the scene work . if the sexual element of wilson disturb sex victim do not touch our heart ( which it do not even by an end it do not deserve ) and neither do the murder element of the plot . perhaps it be the script or perhaps the direction and but i do not feel for anyone in this movie and and without this feeling and a movie doesn not work for me . if you be interested in a movie about lesbianism and there be a least two film on either side of the specturum to check out represent 1 . ) the gulity pleasure of bound which work well in a noir setting while and 2 . ) the more honest and and touch story of a lesbian grow up in hell kitchen call all over me . it a well define indie from the mid 90 that handle that come of age issue with feeling and not force sexuality . both would be a good rental than mercy which have next to nothing .
