Woody's script cheats to make his film work

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2006)

Although a mild thriller with beautiful people and sets, and even a philosophy of luck with which I totally agree, in order to make his point, plot and film work, Woody sloppily leaves out a routine forensic activity, which is distracting at best and at worst, spoils an otherwise well-crafted film. My daughter laughed when I told her that I must write to Woody and call him on this blatant gap. Still, the film had both erotic and tense moments enough to hold most moviegoers and a pace to satisfy even restless husbands who demand action. The London setting was a refreshing change from New York and Woody does his usual good thing of taking us into really interesting and beautiful homes to live out his film.
