CGiii Comment

Not only is it a thoroughly unpleasant film...but, quite, quite ridiculous.

Keanu Reeves is unable to defend himself against two young women who basically hold him to ransom because of his dick!

Cue: a few threesomes, throw in a gay assistant, treat the audience to torture...and, the rest - as they say - is unpalatable pulp.

Even for Eli Roth's diminishing standards...this is simply an exercise to shock...shock, it may do...entertain, it won't.

The(ir) Blurb...

When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse. 


 

GLAAD

This film’s premise revolves around two villainous women, who have a history of seducing well-off middle-aged men into having threesomes with them before burglarizing their homes and blackmailing the men with threats of exposure to their wives. One of the women remarks that she “wants to get comfortable with having threesomes” because she “knows that’s the only way he’ll [future husband] never cheat on me.” Given that these scenes take place in service of the women committing a larger crime, the interactions can be seen as situational rather than indicative of either character’s orientation, so GLAAD did not count the women as either lesbian or bisexual characters. The film also briefly includes Louis, the assistant to the leading man’s wife, who is accidentally killed by the women. When one of the women comes on to him, he replies that she is “barking up the wrong tree” and that he can tell a liar when he sees one. This scene, together with the mannerisms he displays which had some outlets assuming Louis was gay, can be seen as strong hinting on the part of the screenplay, but not ultimately conclusive of his sexual orientation. GLAAD did not count Louis in its tally.
