CONTAINS SPOILERS

Ewan McGregor plays a naive, lovestruck accountant who was befriended by a charismatic lawyer played by Hugh Jackman. Things went haywire when McGregor got involved with a woman played by Michelle Williams that he met in an exclusive sex club.

Sounds like an interesting premise, and the film manages to hold the thrill as the mystery slowly unfolds. However the film doesn't spend enough time to build a chemistry between McGregor and Williams to have McGregor's passion seem to worth pursuing, and although Williams' beauty does look irresistible, the lack of charm between the two turns an adult desire to teenage-like puppy love.

The film falters when it eventually reaches the climax involving McGregor, Jackman, and Williams. The whole suspense build up ends up as nothing [spoiler]when McGregor just threw away the billions of money[/spoiler] and Williams' sudden appearance feels like a deus ex machina [spoiler](of all parks they decide to meet, she just knew it's going to be that park?[/spoiler].

Pretty good though a bit cliched premise that doesn't quite hold up in its execution, unfortunately, the film is not something I would revisit anytime soon.
