Something goes terribly awry in this film.
Bruce Willis seems to have really aged in this film. He could have played the father of Halle Berry. He's ruthless, cunning and a real stinker, but what's really going on with him, if anything.
There is a surprising excellent supporting performance by Giovanni Ribisi. The latter is an up and coming thespian who will be walking down the aisle one day with an Oscar in his hand. Trouble is that his acting talents are wasted here due to the end of this unconvincing plot.
The film starts off well. A reporter has the goods on a gay senator but everything gets dropped due to politics. Angry and embittered, the reporter played by a devilish Halle Berry, resigns but soon finds herself caught up in the murder of a childhood friend. The latter was carrying on an affair with advertising executive Bruce Willis.
You really don't expect Berry to turn out as the culprit. Nothing really led up to this.
Berry really comes off as a monster here. Was she emulating "Monster's Ball?" If so, it sure doesn't work.
