Whip it good

Hey now, like a lot of films these days this started out menacingly, promisingly, creepily, and then just fizzled after a while, not enough momentum to carry it through to the end with an interested viewer (me) in tow. ARGH. It begins with the suicide of a young woman in a big city (Detroit?) who lives in a loft and has some extremely different ideas about things. Along comes her lawyer twin sister, who is at the opposite end of the spectrum, and she begins to delve into what made her sister kill herself. Not to mention dressing up in her (kinky) clothes. There's some weird internet stuff (kinky, leathery), there's some weird people (Michael), who was supposedly Jane's soul mate, but that's HIS version. And, some weird household objects (whips, etc). Anyway, after a very promising start that was probably meant to drag folks into it, the action and storyline proceeds downhill at a fast clip, and plunges straight into the lake of mediocrity, where it sinks..........glub glub glub. Into the trade pile for this one, to make room for (hopefully) better movies. 3 out of 10.
