Summary: Joseph Fiennes is beautiful.
Review: Enough about Heather Graham. Yes, she's pretty, but I'm a woman and I couldn't take my eyes off of Joseph Fiennes. Who cares about the plot? If you like Joseph FINE Fiennes, then you need to see this movie. It just may change your sex life. This movie has the best sex scenes I've ever seen. Although, the part when Joseph ties a long sash around Heather's neck while they're doing it was a little too kinky for me, but Joseph is just so amazingly sexy in this movie, so I overlooked that part. WOW-- that's the best word to describe the movie as far as the erotic scenes go. Now, as for the plot, the movie did hold my attention, but it got real cheesy after a while, especially near the end. And they tried to make it this sappy, "Love Story" ending, which really didn't work for me. I just kept wanting to play back the sex scenes and look at Joseph over and over again. That man just rocks my world. Get the DVD if you want to see pure erotic passion at its best-- acted out by Joseph Fiennes, no less. What a MAN!!! Everyone should have the kind of passion in their love relationships that is portrayed in this film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's hard to dislike a movie starring Heather Graham
Review: Heather Graham (Swingers, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) plays a woman who falls for a mystery man played by Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare In Love, Luther). They meet at a crosswalk and things happen from there. Graham follows Fiennes home and the 2 bump and grind. Graham leaves her boyfriend for Fiennes and ends up marrying the man. Graham recieves faxes telling her that Fiennes is not who she thinks he is and she starts to have suspisions. Fiennes is also a big hero to many and he also has a book about him because years ago he saved some people on a mountain climbing expedition but three didnt survive. Good mystery/eroticism goes silly towards the end and loses its cool. Graham is cute and turns in a revealing performance. Fiennes is ferocious and Natascha McElhone is always fun to watch. You know the cat in this movie in my mind should of had more screen time damnit!! Is it just me who thinks that?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shagarama!
Review: Heather Graham does a wonderful job here showing what was only hinted at in Boogie Nights. With her true talents on display, maybe we'll finally get to see her in a real Boogie Nights production.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hot Heather Graham-MMMMMMMMM!
Review: Heather Graham is Alice. A lonely bachelorette who falls head over heels in love with a mountain climber. However, his past seems a bit shady. Alice begins to explore his past & finds out there's been a string of murders in his past. As it turns out, it was his ex-lover who is responsible. Steamy stuff with a twist of mystery. There's even a brief bondage scene! My goodness!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Enjoyably awful
Review: Here's something you don't see every day: a laugh-out-loud murder mystery. Too bad the laughs are unintentional. This is one of those films that is so terrible that it's actually fun to watch. The big question is what are three talented actors (Joseph Fiennes, Heather Graham, and Natascha McElhone) doing in this overheated attempt at a "stylish erotic thriller"? All three actors struggle admirably to inject some depth and passion into roles that are little more than transparent cliches, as they are forced miserably to utter lines of dialogue that seem to have been clipped at random from a screenplay-writing textbook. The actors probably agreed to make this film because, after reading the script, they thought it would be provocative and disturbing; unfortunately the result is simply embarrassing. I give this film two stars instead of one only out of respect for how hard these poor actors worked to salvage something from this pitiful mess. At times you can almost see them thinking "What have I gotten myself into?" ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good acting, and a good twist for the finale
Review: I am a prude and don't like it at all when characters hop onto each other so quickly. Hey, what happened to romance? The joy of waiting for each other? Etc. etc. Well, so there is a lot going on in this movie which made me press the Fast Forward button. But since most of you are not 'wee old ladies like yours truly, am going to recommend this film, plus suggest that you make sure and get the "Unrated" version because it's worth it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There are 2300 dots on my ceiling.
Review: I believe the word 'guff' was invented specifically to sum up this film. I felt like I was watching an episode of Hollyoaks Late, but with a lower production value.
It possesses the entertainment value of a sloth on sedatives, and is about as beleivable as Saddam Husseins good citizen award.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SOME NOTED STRENGTHS IN THIS B MOVIE
Review: I enjoy a good suspense - but with this one, the focus and emphasis was on the sexual autobiography of a home girl planted in London, not a true suspense like "Deceived". I was very disappointed in the acting, except for Joseph Fiennes, who was good, and the one who played her boyfriend in the beginning. Heather Graham, while she is visually stunning, (loved the clothes), was vapid, weak, and off,- there are too many scenes where the vulnerability in her character was not played out right. I would have preferred her depth and passion outside the sex scenes, (in which she put way too much contrived energy - it unbalanced the whole film.) The city and apartment scenery was just right - I loved that. I gravitated toward the scenes that were more understated, but yet packed some punch, like the cigarette snuffed out in the ashtray (someone is watching), the sihlouette in the darkness with cigarette smoke, the cat named Mr. Know It All. There are many others, won't name them, see it and you'll know what I mean.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stupid disc wouldn't play in my DVD player. 0 star
Review: I got a message that says my DVD player can't play this particular region's disc. At least I got my money back from Amazon.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't bother
Review: I hate being critical of this film because I love B movies, but this movie is bad. Really bad. Heather Graham is a beautiful woman, especially nude, but other than that this movie has nothing going for it. The acting is terrible, the plot is terrible, and the nudity is nothing you can't get from Boogie Nights. The only reason this movie gets two stars is becuase Heather Graham does great in the sex scenes despite the director failing to focus on her sensuality and just settling on getting her naked.
