Nick (Eckhart) drops a case of drugs at the door of reformed Casey, his one time partner in crime - thus leaving Casey to 24 hours of getting stoned, tied up, raped and assaulted by Nick's acquaintances, who include the chainsaw-wielding Billy (LeGros), and rubber-clad superbitch Dallas (Porizkova). The question here is whether a woman can rape a man, as Dallas does Casey with a photo of his loving wife looking on, but the past is a watchful beast and Casey is soon seduced by his former ways. The presence of Neil LaBute acolyte Eckhart ensures a certain quirky quality which first time director Woods backs up with his clever script, dark shades of humour, and staccato pace.
