I watched this film because I thought Brian de Palma - how bad could it be? Answer - pretty bad!! I saw very little passion in this film - indeed most of the cast recited their lines with a complete lack of expression. The dialogue and the acting were dire. The plot - veering between dream and reality was completely lacking in logic and plausibility. I laughed aloud at the scene where the death of the twin sister was described and the moronic declaration of love was offered with a completely expressionless face. The only emotion in the entire film was when NR crashed her car. The whole idea of the murder being filmed "secretly" and the scene where NR carefully dons a mask and takes out a knife before entering the building was so silly. And what was the business with the shoes? Did the reds or the blues have any significance whatsoever? Eh - no. And the ending made no sense - I suppose I shouldn't have expected any as the rest of the film didn't either. One question - the ballet - were they really dancers - they seemed somewhat limited to me. And why do a split screen with them if she wasn't even there? I hate split screens - it's just distracting. A waste of my time and everybody else's.
