I was working on scanning things this morning and needed some noise for the background. The premise for this sounded slightly interesting, and I liked some of the actors, so I threw it on. This review is going to be chock full of spoilers.
Five married men have a loft where they can take their mistresses, one night stands or prostitutes and keep them a secret from their wives. One morning, Luke comes in and finds a blond handcuffed to the bed with blood soaking the mattress. He calls the other four "members" and they all start throwing accusations and having flashbacks.
Begin the spoilers!
Every one of these guys suck. Luke films the other four and keeps DVDs. He's fallen in love with the dead girl and thinks one of the other ones is in the way of his "love" for her. Marty (?) is vulgar and crass and talks about every woman as if she were simply a combination of her sexual bits. Philip is a rage machine who is a drug addict and beats up prostitutes because "you can't rape a whore." Vince is the one who came up with the loft scheme, but he's supposed to be the worst since he slept with Marty's wife, Philip's sister, paid for Chris's prostitute girlfriend and flaunts his promiscuity in front of Luke. And finally there's Chris, who I guess is the hero, because he's just having an affair with a prostitute and falls in love with her. I guess.
Later/earlier (remember - flashbacks), they think Vince is responsible for the girl's death, and Luke reveals what he knows about Vince and his connections to the others. It's then that they decide to frame him for murder. Unfortunately, the scene looks more like suicide than murder, so they elect Philip the psycho to arrange the scene. He goes all out, and the police are convinced by their wonderful job.
Except they're stupid. I'm sure there are others out there that could pick apart all the stupid things these guys do, but I have one particular point that bugs the heck out of me. The girl was ALIVE when they were all there yakking over her. When they reveal that, they do close-ups, and her eyes are twitching, and her fingers are moving. There are four men standing over her, and no one sees that?! Not one of them thought to touch her? She would be warm to the touch - not cold. Shallow breathing? Nothing. And then, when drugged out Philip cuts her, and her blood gushes everywhere, he didn't think that was weird? I'll chalk that one up to drugs, but I can't forgive the other ones. No way they couldn't figure out she was alive.
Anyway, I feel like this would have been so much better if the drugged babbling of Vince had come true. If the wives had found out and framed them. I feel like that would've been amazing. And I don't understand how there are guys NOT in prison at the end of the movie. They committed crimes like obstruction, accessory, etc., but no. Let's meet up with our ex-prostitute girlfriend in a parking lot. And why would Mimi take Marty back? He was a disgusting man. The whole thing just makes you want to take a shower and appreciate having a boring life.
