I can't believe the mild reviews that I read here.Am I the only one that's appalled by J'Lo's lack of artistic skills? Of course,there are some other things that are wrong with the movie,but honestly,if a REAL actress would have played the lead,and did it reasonably well,this movie would have deserved a 6 or 7. What kills the movie is J.Lo,some foolish parts of the script and mostly where that script was heading towards the end of the movie. The points I give are for some realistic scenes,the guts to tackle such a subject and some very good cinematography. The way J.Lo.Plays the character is completely obnoxious and WRONG.The scenes where she's supposed to be energetic are more like a spoiled brat wanting to be spanked,the emotional or romantic scenes have the depth of a hand job and the tense action "live or die" parts had the texture of a domestic dispute.As for the moral thing...give me a break,you got the rocks bimbo and you dwell in your vanity,you're as believable as a hooker in a convent. Kudos for the cinematography,Banderas and the topic,very gruesome and complex indeed, but casting J.Lo was a bad idea.
