Fascination

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.

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".

Of THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN Award. I was dragged to a screening because one of my partners knows the producer Klaus Menzel. Thank God I didn't pay for it, I would have walked out and demanded my money back in the first 30 minutes.

Here's what sucked: 1. BAD CASTING(or bad acting?): NO chemistry at all between Adam Garcia and Alice Evans. There are a few love scenes which even appear as if she is going to crush him, literally. Total turn off.

2. CHEESY: The music was out of a 1980's Knightrider episode, not to mention the opening title of the film was reminiscent of this era/genre as well.

3. BAD STORY: No one cared about Scott's (Adam Garcia's) plight to find out what happened to his dad. Some how he just wasn't convincing anyone. He seemed rather disinterested and so were we.

4. Gratuitous LOVE SCENES: Not sure if this Alice Evans actress is just not attractive at all or what, but I really began to dread seeing her breasts or any part of her for that matter.

5. RANDOM MOANING/BREATHY SOUND EFFECTS: Every time a love scene would ensue there would be some moaning, sexy sound effects, kind of like a soft porn or something. What's worst is these moans and breathy sounds were also heard when a scene would change. What in the world were they thinking? 6. KLAUS MENZEL: Not sure what goes on in this man's head, but he shouldn't be allowed to direct or be in films, unless maybe they are porn. He has a cameo in some club scene where he tries (unsuccesfully) to come on to Alice Evans. He tries to be sexy or something, he is so unappealingly SLIMY. From what I've heard from various people as well as meeting him personally, this is not far from who he really is.

7. FILM GRADE: It looked like cheap grade film, granted the locations were beautiful, but tarnished by this film stock.

8. OVERALL BAD European STYLE AND FEEL: I have 2 words for the overall style and feel of this film, EURO and TRASH.

9. HORRIBLE ENDING: Couldn't it just have ended sooner? Adam Garcia takes her back but not even he seems to know why? They make out again, on the beach, cheesy passion, breathy sounds-- good God can someone please just END THIS?!?? People in the audience even laughed at this, and clapped not because it was good but because it was OVER.

Jacqueline Bisset and Stuart Wilson were the only good thing about this. Too bad they had to be encapsulated in this nonsense of a film.

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.

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.
