Dies und das:

About thirty minutes in the movie, there's a cut to a night scene on a beach. It's rumoured that there is a subliminal message (visible only in widescreen) written on the face of the wave in the lower right corner of the screen.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: After having had sex with Brooke Morrison, Tim Whalen has a sweat-wet back and in the next shot is dry.

Very Dick Wolf... A long, sexy episode of L&O.

Okay, could Rob Lowe be more naked in more movies? That said, this isn't bad it all. It's very Dick Wolf in the incredible number of switchbacks the storyline endures, but essentially compelling and capable of retaining surprise. The end is ham-handed at best, and Jennifer Tilly is essentially a cardboard cut-out good girl with her little lace collars. Both Rob Lowe and Doug Savant are competent and almost complicated as prominent figures in the heiress' life. Rob Lowe is perfect for the role, although the director doesn't make the most of either his complexity or his simplicity, whichever way you choose to see it. Doug Savant is especially sharp, but his character's emotional motivation is never clear and the extent of his involvement remains murky. (For example, did the mother die accidentally or on purpose?)
