ellybendi Very one dimensional. A very unlikeable poor foreign girl mooches round New York ripping people off for an hour. Another unlikeable foreign girl tells her she can be well paid to go to an underground party. Both girls go, each has a spider walk on them while naked for 2 minutes. The end. There is no hidden meaning, no depth or dimension and I am an experienced film viewer that finds a reason to appreciate most films, even the crap ones. I felt compelled to write my first ever review to warn people. It is beyond me why this film has a 5.6 rating. I can only assume it is the film-makers' families and friends plus the 2 minutes of nakedness at the end of the film that has upped the average.

devenrules02 I saw this movie because of my love for horror genre and i thought why not, lets watch it. And i was disappointed as except for the last few minutes in the film, there is nothing to watch or rather i should say nothing that would keep you from being disinterested in the movie. Even in the last minutes of the film, i didn't find anything interesting or unusual horror or any thrill in it.The story in the beginning says that it is inspired by true events, which is also incorrect as i checked the certification at the end of the film which says it is a work of fiction. Pure drama and a bit of thrill in the end. But apart from that, nothing else to look for in the movie. It would be an beautiful island but certainly not a beautiful film.

billcr12 I do not know how to categorize this film. A thirty something immigrant from Spain is escaping her life there after a tragic accident has killed her daughter. Her mother asks her to return home, but she decides to remain in New York City. She works odd jobs, including one as a babysitter to two spoiled brats. A Russian friend informs her of a job paying $2,000 just to attend a private party and blend in while looking pretty in a black mini skirt. If it is too good to be true, and you know the rest. She shows up at the party and it does not go well. The last 15 minutes or so are quite disturbing. There is no way to describe it without spoiling the movie and so I won't. I will warn of some brief full nudity. The acting is good and it only runs eighty minutes. NY City provides a gritty background which works well for the movie.

screechy_jim There isn't really much to this film or at least there isn't for the nearly the first 45 minutes. Its unfortunate because its after this time the real story begins which is decidedly more interesting and entertaining that what precedes it. Even so, its not enough to redeem the film.The first 45 minutes really details the difficulties our lead faces as an immigrant in NY. The story goes into some considerable and unnecessary detail with her situation and because there is little dialogue or interaction with her on this front we don't really get any emotional investment in her character. Mostly your left watching a series of boring on screen events. You observe the problems she faces due to a lack of finances while wondering when something significant is going to happen. There is also little or no musical accompaniment so you have only tedious screenplay to clue you in and absorb you into her situation.The pace of the film is very slow throughout. Scenes are very elongated so you end up with very long periods where little happens, or it happens in the midst of a long sequence of trivial events that really add nothing to the proceedings. Most of the content in this film would have ended up (quite rightly) on the cutting room floor of any Hollywood production, but in truth there isn't a lot of material here to begin with. Realistically without the padding this film would really only be 20-30 minutes long.There is little character or plot development and no real story progression. The underlying plot is a good one but hasn't had the development necessary to produce anything substantial. I think the main issue with this movie is the majority of it exists solely as a segue to the final section where the real story lies. Unfortunately this final section is thin, premature and lacking enough material to thicken out the story. What left is tale worthy of little more than a film short. The lead is quite good and does well with the material. There are no major roles here so other than the lead most other parts are fairly trivial; but they're handled reasonably well considering as was the direction. Its clearly a small production, probably without the resources larger films have to plug holes and address shortcomings, but I think the writing/producing is lacking. The story is mostly filler and that doesn't bode well for keeping you focused as you yawn and drift off in places.If you have idle time, watch it but I would advise against putting time aside to see it, it's just not worth it.
