7/10
Million Dollar Mystery with excellent wacky performances
30 October 2002
I've become a big fan of Mel Gibson and try to watch everything he's done. My favorite so far is a tie for him in Hamlet, and him in BraveHeart.

As for this movie, again he doesn't disappoint. From the moment we see him in traction we start to question this character, and we're always kept guessing.

Milla Jovovitch performs just as well, and her ofset "TomTom" played by Jeremy Davies was equal to Mel's and surpassed him at points.

The movie itself, is about the suspects of a murder, or suicide, that occurs before the movie's timeline started. Mr. Gibson is an FBI agent that has been brought in because the deceased is the son of a famous man, and as such foul play *must* have been the cause.

As Mel gets into the hotel, we learn that its full of loonies. Not just any type.. but I mean hard core, bone to the wind, nut cases, not to mention Mel being one of them! And thus we begin the whodunit with three very interesting center characters and a cast which weaves in and throughout making the movie fun and fascinating.

If you like Mr. Gibson's work, you'll love this movie, if you hate his work, this may have some redemption to offer.
