Summary: Alice (Heather Graham) catches the eyes of a stranger, Adam (Joseph Fiennes) and a love blossoms even though she is engaged. Soon, she comes to find that he isn't who he is and there are clues that he is dangerous. His sister is played by Nathascha McEllone.
Review: The only positive about the movie was how hot Heather Graham was and the few bare breast shots. Heather Graham should really stick to just being a face and this movie really proves she has no acting skill at all for a drama or thriller. She seems decent in comedies and lighter television shows (Scrubs) though. The cinematography did seem decent at times, but there wasn't much substance.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Do women just fall in love with the alluring and dangers of a mysterious man? Are passionate love affairs really just born out of a chance encounter of the eyes locking? It seemed like Alice really enjoyed giving up control to such a dominating man as evidenced by her "I loved it," sex scene with him controlling when she got to breathe.
Power Rating (Out of 5): 1 It wasn't a movie I particularly enjoyed and was bored throughout. I thought it had a chance to be a thriller, but it was just thrillingly boring. Despite all the sex scenes, it just felt like soft-core porn.
