Slow boiler

The first half of this film is misleading. It's seems to be a by-the-books drama until the second half kicks into high gear. I found the male character unlikeable, though this may be intentional. Other than his earning potential, I can't understand why these women were so obsessed with possessing him. The guy is quite the self-absorbed jerk.

The real plot is about two women battling it out in terms that are absolutely chilling. Bearing in mind that the female leads are very attractive and surely see each other as mortal enemies, one wonders how enmity can quickly grow to such extremes. Cold and brutal. Opens one's eyes to the kitty eat kitty aspect of modern female workings. It's refreshing to see a film that catches the vagaries of both sexes. Well shot, well acted, firmly directed. Entertaining. Some plot points were completely dropped however. Almost seemed unfinished. When you watch, you will understand my meaning. I'm simply avoiding a spoiler. All said, there are lasting thoughts, a memorable theme, and an element of horror worth checking out.
