Overview:
Fans of director Atom Egoyan might be surprised to find him working in a more commercial vein than usual, with this labyrinthine 1970s-set thriller. The almost impenetrable plot follows Karen O'Connor (Alison Lohman), a feisty journalist investigating the suspicious death of a young woman, whose body was found in a New York hotel room in 1957. The focus of her enquiries is a pair of popular nightclub entertainers of that era (Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon), who appear to be implicated in the tragedy. Egoyan certainly delivers a few stand-out sequences, as well as some typically odd (and sexually explicit) ones, and Bacon is excellent as Lanny, a supercilious entertainer whose "real" personality is a world away from his polished stage persona. But the accumulation of flashbacks and shifting perspectives (presumably a homage to Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon) is so confusing and frustrating, that in the end you'll find it difficult to care about the truth - whatever it is.
