You want a real mystery? Another reviewer on this board states he's watched this film more than ten times! No disrespect intended, but that is simply well beyond my scope to fathom. I guess if you're a Rutger Hauer fan you might find it interesting to see him in a vehicle where he's not an action hero or sinister villain, but to me he looked like a duck out of water. I'm glad he stood up for the midget though, he should have cracked a few more heads while he was at it. But that bizarre scene near the end with the naked maid seemed more creepy than anything else. Maybe I just didn't have the patience for this. A couple of other writers on this board seem to have a more profound understanding of the picture than I do, and they make their case well enough. For me, this was just a mystery.
