I was sooooooooooo disappointed by this film - how did it even make it to the theatre? Was there no test audience done on this picture? Let's start with the cast: Hilary Swank has two Oscars - did she just want to wear something black in any 'ol movie? Scarlett Johansson, bimbo du jour, struts around looking way too perfect for the 1940's and then there's Josh Hartnett. How does this guy keep getting acting jobs? It's as though he went to the James Brolin School of Wooden Acting. He's horrible! And then there's the convoluted story about how and why the murder happens ... there's family rivalries, suggestions of incest, who's stabbing who? huh? And, then it seems to go on and on and on. If you don't believe me, go ahead and rent this piece of crap and you, too, will wish you'd done something better with this week's Netflix mailing. I notice that this film is currently selling for OVER a dime on this site - shame, shame on you!
