One more.

IN THE CUT: When nude scenes overshadow a film's opening, you know the movie can't be any good. Here is one of the most incomprehensible erotic thrillers I've ever seen, and I've watched A LOT of late-night Cinemax. While it's fantastic to finally see Meg Ryan bare it all, the steamy scenes are fairly devoid of passion, which in my opinion stifles titillation. Mark Ruffalo makes a great sleazy cop, with some wonderfully frank line readings, and Meg Ryan is good...but I wish the whole movie could have been a sleazy, frank sex movie because that's when the movie shows any life at all. The mystery is ridiculous, unsuspenseful, and a waste of time. Boring movie, which is a shame because underneath it all you can see a glimmer of something worthwhile.
