Comments: If you find staring at hunks like Jason Statham or Ray Liotta or girls like Leelee Sobieski and Claire Forlani if that is your orientation satisfying enough then by all means go see it. If you want a plot and something more to get your neurons running you shouldn’t bother. But she did have great dresses…

Rating: 5/10
