Quotes:
[first lines]
William Vincent: [from letter] Dear Ann, I've come back to New York. Some years ago you asked me about myself. What are you doing, you asked. I didn't answer then, but I want to now. When you've read this letter, if you want to come away with me, if you want me to take you from here, call Victor. You can trust him. He'll find me.

An artsy movie that you must really want to see

Rating: 1/10

This is a movie that is beautiful with photography and that is the only positive thing I can say about it.

This film could have been great with the cast it has. James Franco does a great job of the brooding, James Dean like character. Josh Lucas as the dark, controlling bad guy is very good. Freckled Julianne Nelson is beautiful as the femme fatale, but the director seems to be attempting to imitate a good french movie but just fails.

If you like minutes long scenes of an actor's face, a room, an actor walking, you might enjoy this film. If it was condensed to a half hour drama, it might be great. Otherwise, it is not worth the time.
