What can I say? "Bollocks"?

Rating: 1/10 (11 September 1999)

The opening scene looked promising. Kidman naked, getting dressed to go out. She looked stunning - except to her husband (Cruise) who didn't notice. Aha I thought, the seeds of the plot are being sown - beautiful wife, taken for granted by her busy husband, the movie will explore their sexuality. But no. It was more 'Hammer meets Emmanuele'. This film is *awful*. Terrible plot, bad acting - even the picture and sound quality were bad. Kubrick must have needed to money. And Cruise and Kidman must have felt like making a dirty film together (not an uncommon thing for married couples to do). Even the sex was bad. I fell asleep during the orgy scene. How could this movie get in the IMDB's Top 250? I gave it 1/10 because Nicole Kidman is beautiful.
