It started one night, Dorothy (Susan Lynch  From Hell, Interview with the vampire) got into her usual fight with her abusive psychotic boyfriend and decides to leave town, but accidentally intercepts a woman named Petula (Rachel Weisz  Confidence, The Mummy) being attacked by her boyfriend. Dorothy, attempting to stop him, hits him with a large metal rod and knocks him out cold. The two later discover they've killed him and must now conceal the crime, but can they get away with it while attempting to outwit a skilled detective, a vicious business man, and a drugged up psychotic boyfriend?

This is an interesting black comedy that relies solely on the acting of these two leading ladies, and they take the roles on pretty well. Susan Lynch is great as the lead character, helping Petula and inevitably coming to terms with her own life. She's hilarious in this role and gives some great heart as she often fights off her slimy antagonists. Rachel Weisz tends to stand out in the movie as the stone cold Fox Petula who often uses her looks to get out of places. I found it hilarious how every man in the movie falls in love with her, often attempting to have sex with her. She's the shy hottie in this movie, often crawling into a corner or speaking softly while strutting that gorgeous body of hers. Hell, even I fell in love with her... I'm expecting a call from her.

Anyways, the movie also has a great cast of supporting characters who make life difficult for the girls and feature a dog who has nothing but bad luck throughout the entire movie. It was sad, yes, but freakin' hilarious; especially when the dog is doused with paint by the psychotic boyfriend and its fur turns pink, and when people ask what breed the dog is Dorothy says he's ten percent pedigree, ninety percent acrylic. I also enjoyed the role of the business man who often suspects Petula throughout the movie but never really confronts her. I love the dialogue and witty plot twists as the girls attempt to cover up the man's murder, and characters throughout the movie carrying around a chewed off finger. Director Bill Eagles manages to turn the storyline for a thriller into a hilarious and sometimes fun black comedy, never setting the mood too grim for the plot.

The problem is, I've seen this plotline done one-million times over in movies before, but rarely in the black comedy fashion. The movie derives a lot of the plot elements from many many other thrillers and dramas, and continues adding the bits of plots into each other like a badly put together puzzle. The plot is so contrived that it's completely cliche. I knew every plot twist and storyline before they ever happened, and rarely anything in this movie surprised me. Sure, it does completely take a 180 angle in the climax, becoming original, but the first half was so contrived that I couldn't care less in the ending. The plot barely has any legs to stand as well, often resorting to violence and a lot of gross out humor to keep the audience settled, while showing off Rachel Weisz' fine body. Not that I'm complaining.

This is a fun, slick, entertaining, but contrived movie with certain faults to the plotline but is inevitably a decent watch. Rachel Weisz, if you're reading this, give me a call.
