Enjoyable but not great. Nice Camera work and good performances by the cast
I give them full marks for dreaming up an intricate story, but for me it was ultimately so implausible that any merits it might have had were lost for me.
Not sure how I missed this one all these years ago. What's intriguing about this movie is that you have no idea just where the plot is going to take you.

What's intriguing about this movie is that you have no idea just where the plot is going to take you. Even as your discomfort about Eddy and his intentions increase, it's still quite a shock to see what happens. Kevin Spacey is brilliant, as usual as the creepy villain.
I was mildly entertained but the film in general is pretty weak. Although I love Kevin Spacey

Qualche disattenzione nella trama ma in generale non e' malvagio, insomma si fa vedere. Siccome e' un film pressoche' sconosciuto do qualche informazione in piu'... diciamo che il film si basa sul dualismo tra due personaggi e due modi di vivere: uno basato sui principi e sulla moralita', che inevitabilmente deve far fronte con le debolezze umane, l'altro pragmatico, che fa di ogni falla del sistema e del genere umano un'occasione per vivere meglio. Da qui si sviluppa un thriller interessante anche se con una sceneggiatura non eccezionale. Buona recitazione comunque, dato il cast di alto livello.
Decent enough thriller. Stacey and particularly Kline on great form but film still misses that X factor.
Probably not much beyond a typical thriller, but had some assets like performances and an eerie plot.
