Five married men enjoy sharing a beautiful apartment for their trysts, until a woman turns up handcuffed to the bed and dead. This is a classic whodunit with flashbacks to lay out the clues and every character having a motive. The plot keeps you guessing, but the suspicious glances, sometimes portentous dialogue and the director’s stylistic flourishes get in the way of any tension. On the positive side, the movie’s got an attractive, able cast and a high-end look. If you don’t delve too deeply and appreciate this film as a crime puzzle you might enjoy trying to put the pieces together.
