SYNOPSIS: Julia is a hard-working girl with two jobs and a boyfriend, Istvan, who is a rock musician and always in trouble. When cocaine dealers threaten to kill him over a debt, she tries to help him come up with the money. This starts an unfortunate chain of events at her daytime job at the hotel, and brings her and the hotel manager, O'Ryan, closer together, or so it seems. Then, in his unrequited love for Julia, O'Ryan goes a step too far, way too far, and from there, things get very ugly.

An exploration of the darkest, sickest side of human nature, done pretty well given that it's obviously on a low budget. Every major character, and most of the minor ones, is sick, really sick. It isn't even just the characters though, each location, even the props maybe, turns out to be sick too - an initial good impression, even flashy or classy turns out to be at best faded grandeur, peel back the veneer and it's old, decrepit, and sick, very sick. Some of the shots are sick too, you can imagine them on set saying "can we really film that, it's sick?" - turns out that yes they could, and did. Acting is not bad either, all the leads are good, minor roles are a bit patchy but not enough to spoil it.

But the great thing about this film is that it (sometimes repeatedly) get you to empathise, even sympathise, see each character in turn as a victim, even the good guy... then it tears off the veneer again and shows you that yes, they are just a sick **** that deserves everything that's coming to them, and the film doesn't disappoint in that area either. Not light entertainment, not easy watching, don't watch this for the action, or the gore, or the nudity (all there, a bit, all done ok, but not the main thing), watch this to see how sick these characters are, remembering that it's only a movie and in real life people aren't this sick... maybe.
