With all the big Hollywood names in this, I’m surprised it wasn’t more popular than it was. On the other hand, it was pretty boring, especially for a movie about sex and murder. A homicide detective (John Travolta) becomes obsessed with tracking down a pair of killers (Jared Leto and Salma Hayek) who prey upon lonely women who answer personal ads. The crimes themselves are a dull blend of greed and jealousy, becoming more brutal and senseless as the story progresses. The voice-over from James Gandolfini doesn’t help matters any. Overall this is slick but insubstantial. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
