Sinopsis(1)
Robin Grange (Jon Bon Jovi), un famoso actor norteamericano, viaja a Londres para protagonizar una nueva obra teatral, "The Hit Man". El director de la producción, Felix Webb (Lambert Wilson), está manteniendo un romance con Hilary Rule (Thandie Newton), la actriz principal de su obra. Su mujer desde hace 14 años, Elena (Anna Galiena), empieza a sospechar que su marido le engaña, pero no logra plantarle cara. Robin decide hacer un trato con Felix: Por una suma de dinero, él seducirá a Elena para que ésta rompa el matrimonio por su propia voluntad. El plan funciona, pero no de acuerdo a la disposición original. Elena se enamora de Robin, pero pronto la atención del actor se centra en Hilary, y la del director en Elena. (Lauren Films)

A calm B-movie, a gift for Jon Bon Jovi fans. It’s a pleasant environment for rehearsing a play and a group of well-coordinated actors. Thandie Newton has always been very interesting. She started out alongside Kidman in Flirting and by the time that film was being shot she’d already had an affair with Brad Pitt (they met while working on Interview with the Vampire). In this film, she got a nice opportunity to mature. Those looking for Kidman will have to wait for her cameo at the very end of the film.

This is the second film I’ve seen in a short time with a non-actor/non-singer in one of the leading roles. I’m not thrilled about this one, either. It's true that Jon Bon Jovi, unlike Louise Veronica Ciccone, didn't offend my aesthetic sensibilities, but I can’t say his acting did the movie any favors. The story was far from original, but it was watchable. What bothered me more was the occasional overacting. I get it, they were theatre actors putting on a new play, but they were theatrical in their private lives as well, which didn’t work for me. It was no masterpiece, the performances were quite unimpressive, but I’m willing to give it two stars.
