Featured reviews
Adam Garcia shirtless, Jacqueline Bisset and Stuart Wilson, a script which many holes, fragile links between scenes and beautiful landscape. love stories so confusing than is not easy to understand the purpose. and ambition to create a thriller. the best thing - the good idea who remains only the roots for the film . result - good intentions. and that could be enough in this case. the worst fact is the absence of an axis. the film seems be result of improvisation. no precise plot, not a coherent story. only crumbs of revenge who seems be remind about Hamlet, a confuse plan and the poor Alice Evans as cardinal. a film for the fans of genre.
A great DVD cover and a good storyline on the back of it was enough to fool me into buying it.So in case you have bought it and have not yet seen it then let it be that way. The complicated relations remind me of cheap B grade thrillers where double crosses are inevitably followed by a triple cross.The acting was below average and Alice Evans in particular was horrible.The way she talked with that twangy accent( don't know where that comes from but I am sure it was unintentional on her part) was really awful.Too few characters and too much complicity for a storyline which ain't fit even for an amateur movie. Klaus Menezel should stop directing movies if this is what he is good at.
If you like watching F grade movies this may be the right one for you. I'm all for independent film making, but they should be good independent movies. The acting is horrific and the script just has too many holes in it to allow you to get into the film. Momentum is lost at almost every scene change. A great idea, but obviously not enough time or $$$ to make it what it should have been.
Does the film qualify for distribution?? I don't think so.
If you are looking for a good thriller with suspense, mystery, ACTING!!, try taking a look at "BLINK" (no pun intended). Another movie to watch would be "SLIVER".

maybe, too many. and the sex appeal of Adam Garcia as the most important ingredient. inspired choice in the first part, strange in the other. because the new revelations about characters, the ambiguity as instrument of suspense are good points but not in the case of lost of sense. because all becomes only improvisation. each actor does the best. this fact is obvious but the fundamental obstacle is the script. because the relativity of emotions, confessions are a kind of hammer against the first story. and the coherence is lost. sure, it is a thriller. but the rules of genre are more subtle. it has the mystery as basic instrument of atmosphere. but something important missing. the love story becomes confuse. the body of Adam Garcia could not supply a thin script. so, isolated scenes about mourning, sadness, revenge and love from a kind a broken puzzle.
I really should have checked IMDb before watching this mess. It is a bad movie. Direction and writing is very amateurish. There are shots of the rainbow above the sea. Was that supposed to be symbolic or did the director just put it there because it looked nice? There are several plot holes and the characters are badly written. Adam Garcia takes his shirt off more than he acts. Alice Evans seems to show potential but this half-baked role does nothing to confirm. Stuart Wilson is very bad too. The only one who did act is Jacqueline Bisset. Why is this woman doing terrible movies? 'Fascination' may qualify as soft-core (even though the love-scenes were very unconvincing). It is quite a waste of time and should have been rightfully called 'Unfascination'.
