CGiii Comment
Not as neurotic as his usual offerings...and, it does have a few weaknesses...maybe a little too much of everything.
It's all here - even the kitchen sink.
It's dark, very dark - and, it's bold.
Pedro was in no mood to play the shrinking violet.
Definitely worth the time spent.

The(ir) Blurb...
An ex-bullfighter who gets turned on by killing, a lady lawyer with the same fetish and a young man driven insane by his religious upbringing - these are the main characters in this stylish black comedy about dark sides of human nature.
