A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Conversations, intonations, events - all is a banal copy of the 2008th film. The difference is only in the mimicry of the actors. Because the actors are different. That's all.

I started off deciding to watch just a bit of this movie for fun based on the entertaining terrible reviews -- especially one review in particular by a user who said they created an account just to report how awful it was (and it's their sole review on this site so they were serious lol). With that in mind, I decided I must get a glimpse of this awfulness for myself and hoped to have a few laughs.I actually ended up watching the entire thing and thought it was decent. My extremely low expectations probably helped, but it's definitely an alright movie. I was engaged throughout.Sure, the acting and dialogue at times are bad, but overall the mystery and (most) twists hold up on their own.I think if Eric Stonestreet's character and his wife in the movie were given different dialogue (or even omitted all together from the movie), it could have made the entire experience much better. Honestly, they're the main ones to blame for the majority of the cringeworthy moments. Also, if they had cast a better actress to play the dead woman that could've helped as well.Honestly though, overall it's really not that bad.

.. a movie that's far more entertaining than most of the crap produced these days.Really nice acting, cringe-worthy characters (in a good way) played by talented & believable actors with a nice suspenseful/thrilling plot. I honestly thought I would hate it when I started watching it on BluRay, but wow, I sat through it all without even taking a bathroom break. Not going to spoil anything, except for the fact that this movie is another reason why the so called "critics" should not be listened to.Oh and watch it with your wife for the best experience.

Initially, this film appeared to fall under the definition of " L. O. P. " or least objectionable programming, a term that once applied to a minimally annoying cable feature one might discover in the course of late night channel surfing, which ironically, generally involved the lure of the lewd. While there's minimal gratuitous sex and violence contained, the story manages to be a completely salacious tale of dirt balls and scuzbuckets engaged in a total sleaze fest nonetheless. Karl Urban as Vince heads up the seamy crew as the main skeeze who covertly engages in getting his ashes hauled by the wives, girlfriends and sisters of his alleged friends who in turn demonstrate their strong sense of ethical fair play by framing him for a murder that they actually committed. With fiends like this, who needs enemies or even a key to the titular den of iniquity. Plot holes big enough to drive a Safari station wagon through only add to the cinematic malaise. Lots of whoring, lying, double dealing, voyeurism, cheating, drinking and sordid shenanigans by all the characters although they display some negative qualities as well. Everything is neatly wrapped up in the scurrilous, but consistent finale when Rachael Taylor as Anne the lovable strumpet, love interest of James Marsden as Chris, appears to rekindle their passion, wife and kids be damned. I jacked it up to 5 stars for its inherently misplaced entertainment value.
