Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This seems to be aiming at obsessive noir romance - though these things play better in San Francisco or New York than in pointedly fictional English seaside resorts. Martin (Nivola) returns home after serving nine years for murder. Violating the conditions of his parole, he begins to stalk his old girlfriend Helen (Weisz), unaware that she's under the surveillance of a mute refugee, Honda (Petrusic), who lives on the beach with his older sister, Smokey (Mitevska). For light relief, Martin pays a local prostitute to strip to Elvis Costello's 'I Want You'. The script is too thinly plotted to support the levels of enigma, alienation and abstraction piled on top.Author: TCh

- Posted on Dec 23 2007 07:36 Well in the entire movie i just like the first sex scene, where the guy is in such a hurry that at the same time he is kissing Rachel breasts and on the other he is removing his pants. If he wanna enjoy more he could have removed his pants first and then can have sex with Rachel. Likewise in the second scene where the same guy enters the house and Rachel said to him, that she knew for what reason he is here, that he needs to fuck her and she removes her bikini and shows her bush and the guy says that she should say that she love her and Rachel relies in the funniest tone that she love her, rest entire movie is a waste of money.
