Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A turgid erotic thriller that plays like Zalman King-meets-vintage Brian De Palma without the latter's wit or style.
What a great shame that such a talented director as Chen Kaige has chosen to make his English-language debut with a film so poorly plotted and scripted.
Inane and shopworn material with a truly cheesy final twist, this is made excruciating by direction that takes it all deadly seriously.
