diane lane screwing

As the gallic lover Martinez seems to have been told just to make himself seem as sexy as possible, a job he excels at. The same cannot be said of Gere who despite objecting to Lyne sending ice-cream and cookies to his trailer every day to fatten him up, seems to have been delicately shot throughout to cover his fading matinee idol physique. Overall the script is without doubt a low point for the screenwriter responsible for the Planet Of The Apes re-make, a man so inept that alphabet spaghetti forms more intelligent dialogue.

The aesthetic pleasure of Lane and Martinez screwing each others socks off would have made for a forgivable guilty pleasure, but even this is ruined by a third rate thriller plot line that seems to appeared from a different, and some how worse, film. One can only assume that Richard Gere had got bored of the whole subject of infidelity and demanded something more interesting for his character to do. The change in tack couldn't have been more obvious if there had been a loud clunk added to the soundtrack.
