CGiii Comment

Gutierrez is a better writer than he is a director. This is his first ill-fated endeavour.
 
It starts off with an alien lesbian sex scene accompanied by the most foul-sounding music ever to be suffered by the human ear...
 
Despite amassing an impressive cast (particularly surprising for a debut), the names cannot save this incompetent auteur from creating a turkey.
 
Gutierrez may be a better writer - this is no proof of that fact.

An unmitigated disaster.

The(ir) Blurb...

A woman and her lover, who has made a living by running sex scams at hotels, decide to enter the big time by kidnapping a computer company owner and demanding $4 million ransom. The two hire a tech wizard and a muscle man, who amuses himself by playing Russian roulette. Things go awry during the kidnapping when a neighbor is killed, who turns out to be the wife of a powerful senator. As things develop, it turns out that the murder may not have been as accidental as it originally appeared. Slowly things unveil to not to be everything that was originally thought.
