Customer Reviews

I will get you and your little dog too.

For those of you who might be a little confused as to what this movie is all about, let me give you a little help. First, there is the script, which is your standard conspiracy mixed with your standard plot twists mixed with, oh, did I forget to tell you that plot twists and mixed with some classic thriller plot twists. It is very simple. The bad guy who thinks he's been besmirched by a bad guy that thinks he's a good guy poses as a good guy, and in the process of exposing the bad guy that thinks he's a good guy does bad things to good guys, pretty besmirches as bad guys to get the help of a good guy to expose the bad guys that appear to be a good guy. Meanwhile, the good guy that appears to be a snot is convinced that the good guys or bad guys, which may be bad guys, yet they appear to be good guys that are just pawns in an extensive plot to get the bad guy that thinks he is a good guy but should know better. The bad guy that thinks he's a good guy is blind to the transparent scheme set up by the bad guy that wants to get the bad guy that thinks he's a good guy and assist him in this scheme to get the good guys that appear to be the bad guys, little knowing that he is the target. The assistance of the bad guy who thinks he is a good guy knows better, so this makes him a bad guy and an unwitting pawn in the scheme. To convolute matters and spice up the story, it looks like we also have Cupid- yes, Cupid. As we see a lot of people shoot with love and arrows fly, some arrows get the bad guy, who does not know he is a bad guy but would be the bad guy if he thought he was. Another overlying theme is video voyeurism, which gives an excuse to make this film a soft p-o-r-n film, whether that was the reason you got it or not. This is a nice multi-layered and multipurpose weekend. It is just possible that everyone gets what they want or need in the end. Not only all the characters but the viewers as well.
