Cinco hombres comparten en secreto un apartamento donde poder escaparse con sus amantes, donde relajarse o simplemente evadirse de la rutina. Hasta que un día aparece el cuerpo de una mujer asesinada en el apartamento y empieza un juego de sospechas entre ellos para intentar descubrir quién es el culpable y ver cómo se las arreglan para que todo el asunto no salga a la luz... (Gussi Cinema)

Una película entretenida de una sola línea con una agradable formalidad, un reparto interesante y un clímax de la historia poco revelador y lleno de interrogantes. Sin embargo, el enfoque de cumplir con las fórmulas de género es más fuerte que el intento de crear una obra distintiva y refinada que sea igual de interesante (si no más) en un segundo visionado. Es un remake mainstream casi estelar, y el hecho es que algo así rara vez consigue su propósito.

A failed attempt at modern Hitchcock, with so many shocking twists and turns that halfway through I didn't really care whether the chick from Transformers was killed off by Dredd, Cyclops, young Scofield, Cameron from Modern Family or the Belgian whose last name I can't spell.

It's a modern homage to Hitchcock, but the content is too layered and the screenwriting too inept. The twists piling on top of each other cease to be clear, but with each successive effort to decipher them, they become increasingly sophisticatedly as the film progresses. So while the male cast is typically from the life of the bourgeoisie, the female cast is at least strange and sometimes quite out of place. The talented cast didn't save it in the finale, but it's not a bummer either. I'm not comparing it to the original films.

Even though the ending is very unsatisfactory and it just felt like one big cliché to me, it's still a movie that managed to captivate me and successfully unfold a quite interesting plot in one large apartment. Maybe it's sometimes overly complicated, but even that aspect worked for me in the story. Additionally, there are great performances by the actors. Isabel Lucas is incredibly sexy, but she always is.
