Some fun ideas, some sexy visuals, sexy actors... not a bad mix.
Sure the acting could be ropey at times but it didn't bother me at all - overall it was good. Pierce Brosnan and Eric Davis really tore it up.
You really could see what they were trying to achieve but I think it failed because of a lack of commitment. There wasn't enough sex or violence, and they really needed to dial it up to 11, where instead they left it at a simmering 4. It should have been Event Horizon on Earth with tons of bonking. The IMDB states that the Sex & nudity is "Mild" and the violence is "Moderate". That's the problem.
Structurally, it all hung together pretty well but the motivations driving events in the later stages of the film were sometimes poorly written. The better writing was when the protagonists were a group of friends, partying it up.
There was also something quite televisual about the sound and the cinematography towards the end of the film - it wasn't cinematic or grand enough. It could have been an episode of a CW show.
There's a post-credits end scene that is utterly pointless.
