Title: If a man had directed this there would have been protests
Review: Jane Campion -- I loved you and you betrayed me! Seriously, I can take my share of grizzly violent scenes in the context of a good film, but this sultry-slasher-wannabe fell totally flat for me. The series of gruesome sex crimes felt degrading and exploitative without even creating that much suspense. Meg Ryan wasn't bad in the film and I don't blame her; I just couldn't relate to the fact that her sexually frustrated character kept making stupid choices. Note to Jane Campion -- you can do better -- go on a retreat and meditate on what you can contribute to the world of film!
