Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2004)

I kept wanting this movie to be more than it was. Unfortunately, it never even delivered the suspenseful entertainment it promised. The lack of chemistry between the actors destroyed the tension that should have existed in the troubled relationships.
Natalie Portman is a terrific actress, yet unconvincing as an edgy, stripper-type. Jude Law shines in the only role he can play: a smug, yet inept Englishman. Julia Roberts believes that if she takes a role that doesn't require her to smile, she'll get another Oscar. Clive Owen is the only actor in this film worth his salt. His portrayal of a jilted husband and the simmering anger that accompanies that role was the only worthwhile thing about this flick.
