Featured review
Yes usually you'd call it Murder Mystery. In this case this is a mystery - well not so much the fact it got made, but the fact that you have Sam Elliott in it. You know a movie hasn't aged well when the website just goes away. On the plus side I guess: someone can get the rights for the title of the movie now. Though I wouldn't know why (except maybe to be "romantic" with your significant other? I'm just spitballing and guessing here).
All other things aside and taking into account that the director is a great cinematographer, he either took a bad deal or the script sounded way better than the end result we get. Now you can see what the intention was. Thriller with some social criticism and all that. Unfortunately having someone like Jamie Kennedy and the female newcomer in the lead role did not serve the movie or the plot a lot - quite the opposite. So while there may or may not be surprises ahead (and don't bother trying to make sense of certain things that just don't make sense) - overall this is forgettable
