4/10
Garbage
25 January 2003
Sad to say but even someone as fantastic as Clive Owen can make a career mistake. This is one of his rare bad movies, but as someone once said, sometimes you just have to make a living too.

Story is older than mold. Rich man has unhappy wife. Unhappy wife is a dope and confides in a total stranger that she has fantasies about her husbands demise. Before you can say PREDICTABLE!, stranger decides her fantasies should become reality.

But wait, its all a set-up. Can't tell you more than that, but there is more than one twist, none of them particularly original or well thought-out.

I really like Clive and I like Peter Greene too. Christopher McDonald I liked from such classics as "Requiem for a Dream" and "Quiz Show" but his character here is sketchy, at best.

Oh yeah, Halle Berry is in it too, and SURPRISE SURPRISE, she cries. 4/10.
