It is disappointing when the so called school of “method acting” chooses Elizabeth Hurley as their mother goddess. Now Liz Hurley, notwithstanding her (rather obvious, and re-iterated in this movie as well) other attributes, is not a Method actor, and it is difficult for a person who somewhat extends herself in attempting to be merely bitchy, to being a convincing serial killer. The other thing that is lacking in the movie is the near complete absence of star power. The end result – a movie with promise, that would have been well enacted by half a dozen actors (remember, for instance, Salma Hayek in Lonely Hearts?) but it seems that coming up with anything bearing a semblance of the right cast was not high on the list of priorities here. Method acting and b grade do not mix.
