Slick and clinical exercise

Rating: 5/10 (21 March 2005)

Impressive gathering of actors in this four-character relationship drama of infidelity, manipulation and jealousy in contemporary London. I know it's an adapted play, loaded with flashy, nasty dialogue, and probably not attempting big credibility... But the slick and clinical exercise leaves me distanced.
And even at 104 min's, the relationship merry-go-round spins too long and gets repetitive. Especially since none of the characters can really be cared for or favoured. Not all dramas of this kind need a heart, but I sorely miss one here. Main query: Why did the female roles need to be American? It's completely irrelevant. 5 out of 10 from Ozjeppe.
