Trailer Synopsis Cast

Dead bodies are piling up, and the leads the two LA homicide cops have point to Barbara, business manager for a successful architectural firm she runs with her husband Lance. The dead men were interns at the firm, and each of them was Barbara's lover (kept in a classy flat she owns and observed via closed-circuit TV by the applauding Lance). Kyle is Barbara's latest intern and lover, and he may be in danger. He also starts to fall in love with Barbara, and the feeling may be mutual. In the background are Erin, Lance and Barbara's myopic administrative assistant, and Tony, Kyle's one-time roommate who also knows Barbara. Can the cops solve this before too many more die?

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film combines a decent plot with a great performance from the enticing Michelle Von Flotow. She plays the seductive Barbara and together with her husband runs an architecture firm. There's just something about the way Barbara smokes a cigarette and orders a man on his knees. Ice-T also appears as his usual self. So if you're looking for an erotic thriller/mystery to help you sit back and relax this does the job. Although it didn't win any awards this movie is much better than some others of it's kind that are out there because of it's interesting story. The DVD also includes a nice array of special features just in case you have some more time to kill.

Just another in the cycle of low-cost, late-night cable thrillers designed to titillate suburban subscribers with heavy breathing and soap opera story lines. This one features some quirky add-on scenes featuring Ice-T as an investigating cop. The sexual activity is rather bland for this kind of thing, since there's not much variety in the sexual episodes and the male lead is rather fey. Not one of the better choices in this category.

About 3 parts softcore and 2 parts mystery-thriller. Make that one part; I figured out whodunit in the first ten minutes. You're not supposed to notice with all the nooky going on.One extra star because the "woman under suspicion" actually CALLS THE POLICE when she finds a dead body she knows she could be blamed for. They never (usually) do that in these kinds of movies -- they always try to cover it up and get in deeper because of it.Take a half star back because of the tiresome "cop partner banter" that we get too much of. Nobody talks like that.
