4.0 out of 5 stars
surprisingly good, 8 Sep 2003
I have no idea what the critics' stance is on this movie, I had not heard of it before I watched it. I thought it would be a lame attempt at a thriller, but it was really good. I was hooked after the first 5 minutes when Willis's patient jumped out of the window, it was a fantastically filmed suicide. Then there was the (surprisingly) gory death of Willis's friend. Then we have the 5 patients, who are all very weird and wonderfully played by all involved, add a sexy young lady to spice up Bruce's life and a hyper-active cop and you've got a recipe for success. The cop adds just the right amount of comic relief. This was really well directed too. I was surprised throughout, maybe because I had low expectations, now anyone reading this will have high expectations! definitely worth checking out.

More Than just sex, 19 Aug 2003
By A Customer
What more needs to be said, this movie has Bruce Willis init. The first time I saw this movie was honestly by accident, howeverwhen I noticed Bruce Willis's name in the cast, I had to give it achance. I agree that critics look way too much on the sexualissue. True there are many nude scenes, so if you're sensitive tonudity or sex, you may have a problem with this movie (most criticsseem to have this ...disfunction...). The fact that Willis and Marchhave sex plays an essential role to her psychological being, as wellto his understanding to the tragic reality that is her (and herbrother's) life. This movie is well done. It also gives you a glimpseinto the life of a truly mixed up person, that can overcome any odds,including confusion in one's sexuality, multiple personalities, andeven physical and mental abuse. Jane March does an excellent job aswell. Her portrayal of this confused youth tormented by her olderbrother, who she obviously looks up to, yet she seems to find comfortin an erotic life style with many partners, her favorite partner (andlove) being Bruce Willis, is exceptional. I would definitely watchthis movie again. I highly recommend this movie, along with all otherBruce Willis movies. No matter what critics, or people, say, if amovie has Bruce Willis, it's probably good. And chances are, the morecritics put down a movie, the better it probably is.

pretty good, 11 April 2006
a good enough film, a strong cast and plot and and ending that you would never guess. basically willis is a psychiastrist whose peer is murdered and takes on his therapy sessions. however the people start getting bumped off one by one, and its up to willis and a police detective to find out the murderer.
