Just a posh remake of 1995's Showgirls.

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2011)

Simply awful. No merit whatsoever. If this wins an Oscar I'll eat my hat and the hats of all those around me at the time. This is one of those films where it is deemed philistine to not like it or is rated highly on a fear or having missed something you should not have missed. Sadly, there is nothing to miss. The tension is terse and kept at the same level from beginning to end and you just don't care about what happens to the characters. Everyone is a stereotype thinly sketched and seen countless times in a myriad of movies. In fact, everything in the film - the story, the characters, the attempt to shock via the sex scenes has been seen before. Don't be fooled, this is not the masterpiece people are saying it is.
