"This rancid little British film about the serpentine relationships

between four smart metropolitan friends is so cold and hateful it

makes one recoil. The misogynistic Danny (Ben Daniels) abuses

his girlfriend (Kristen McMenamy) while advising his best friend,

Paul (Paolo Seganti), on matters of fidelity. At the same time, he's

having a sadomasochistic affair with Paul's wife, Amanda (Gina

Bellman). The film is written and directed by one Noli (the use of

such single monikers should always be a warning), and the lame

script obviously has pretensions to profundity. What it offers is

oh-so-shocking dirty talk to camera, amateurish scenes of sexual

game-playing and reams of thoroughly tedious dialogue. Lacking

insight, humour or sensitivity, it's as empty as the ghastly

characters it portrays. One star" From The Times.
