A lot of negative reviews here blame Paz, the lead actress. And while this is certainly not her best work, I have to blame the director for most of the failings of this film. The actors take the cues from the director - how he/she wants the scene played, the adjustments to dialog, the flow of the film, and all the other things that are wrong with this film.This is a low budget slasher movie, but when there are major flaws in the screenplay and directing, even low budget slashers get boring. Texas Chain Saw was low budget, but they created a movie that didn't distract you with stupid stuff.There are so many bizarre things and incoherent twists that the film is almost laughable. Just a few of the issues with the film are: 1. every guy in the movie is portrayed as morally inept - the Dr's are womanizers, the cops are leeches and sex starved, and all they guys in the clubs are married looking to cheat - even the "good boyfriend" doesn't stand by his girlfriend at the first sign of trouble and acts childish (revs his motorcycle when she is talking as says "I can't hear you") 2. the nudity is bazaar at best - ex Paz is shown in several scenes with only a bra on - nothing else. Either be naked or topless, but bottomless only? just strange 3. Other than the 2 main characters, all the other women are clueless and stupid. Nobody does background checks, worries about liability, etc. Even the Danni character has her moments - like she is convinced she was drugged with rohypnol, works at a hospital, but doesn't bother to get a blood test. 4. all the cops just stare at the women when they walk around (and have sex the witness/suspect) 5. all the security guards are idiots, even the armed ones are only there to get killed 6. and there are so many plot leaps and holes it is ridiculous - ex: how did Abby leave, change into a sexy dress, and get to the parking garage exit right as Dr Larry was leaving? And then how is it that she knows that when the car rolls back into the street it is going to get hit by a large truck and kill Dr Larry instead of a small car or motorcycle (or nothing) and thus not killing the DR and leaving him alive to implicate her. For a very prepared serial killer, she certainly left that one to chance.As an example of the flaws, just look at the set of scenes where Abby take Danni out drinking and they end up in bed in Abby's apartment in the morning. So many issues/questions with this scene alone: 1. there is clearly a drug in Danni's drink yet she doesn't notice it, and oh btw, the remains of the powdered drug are left on the upper part of the glass - the opposite side that she drank from. Any sediment would settle on the side she drank from.2. she is drugged, but clearly per the pictures taken participates in the sex and is having pleasure. If it was rohypnol, it is more paralyzing and the pictures don't line up with the story3. The pictures show she has sex with a guy, but the pictures don't match Abby's bed - so where were they taken? And the guy was not there in the morning - so did they go somewhere else and have sex then go to Abby's where they had more sex (6 orgasms according to Abby)?4. in the morning when they wake, Abby is naked and Danni has a top on. So after having girl on girl sex all night long (6 orgasms) while drunk and drugged, she is awake enough to request and put on something to sleep in while Abby stayed naked? Which she doesn't remember asking for or putting on since she was confused that she was even wearing it? Abby certainly would not have put it on here, she liked Danni naked.5. And where were Danni's clothes in the morning? They were nowhere to be found and she had to borrow something from Abby. So did they have sex with they guy somewhere else, leave her clothes there, and go back to Abby's place naked?6. and speaking of missing clothes, Abby gets up naked then puts on a bra and walks around bottomless - with full frontal nudity. Who does that? I have never seen a woman do that - it is either naked, topless, of bra and panties. And she does this 3 times in the movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the view, but strange. the character seems to like to "air things out" but keep her breasts covered? Is this a particular fetish of the director?Anyway, you get the idea.It is an entertaining romp that could have been so much better.

My problem with this is the Actress who plays Abby Russell. The actress who is playing a role of a seductive Nurse is I am sorry to say is1.Not pretty enough, I think the costume department and make up did her a dis-service here especially her hair, she is no Sharon stone. The allure of Basic Instinct is the looks and the allure Sharon gave the role. 2.Playing the role too Hammy, the dialogue sounded like she was either drunk or bored.The final act of the movie seemed rushed and botched, the HR Lady what happened to her ?The Shower scene as mentioned in the Boards, why are they still wearing their under garments, if there is a no Nudity clause then don't film the scene at all.Shame really good concept poorly executed.

I couldn't watch this movie to the end. I got about 20 minutes in and decided I might re-read a book instead of watching bad movies on Netflix. The first thing I noticed is Paz de la Huerta who plays the main character Abby Russell. Probably the worst acting I have ever seen. I have seen better acting in commercials and soap operas. Her voice was the most irritating. Not helped at all by the terrible script. I had no idea who she was but I looked her up thinking it must be her first movie, but apparently she has 48 credits. She has no emotion, resting bitch face and bad delivery of lines and body language. I can say she was likely hired because of her body and willingness to appear naked in the film.Katrina Bowden who plays a nurse Danni, has much better acting skills and would have made a much better lead.Okay so the movie - the part I watched anywayAbby Russell is a nurse that 'disguises' herself as a slut and goes out to bars and clubs wearing barely anything and waits for married men to hit on her. Of course a married man does. She 'ALWAYS' gives them a chance to change their mind. He doesn't and then the movie starts.We then discover she is more interested in woman than men. We find this out during a scene at a nightclub that was the most nauseating to watch. The lights flashed across the screen, if I had epilepsy I would have had a fit. Then we see her prance around naked at her house and walked unnaturally as if she was strutting on a runway. (You know she is a bad actress, when she can't even walk naturally).Then I turned the TV off.

Quite possibly the most poorly written female lead character of all time. I selected this movie hoping it would be similar to American Mary. Unlike the amazing depth of character given to Mary, this lead was a horrible noir wannabe ripped right out of a low budget video game and placed in a world amongst otherwise adequate actors and actresses. She just didn't fit and every word she said was frustrating because we were supposed to believe the other characters accepted it as normal, or worse, sexy. I couldn't decide if it was the acting of the actress that was terrible or if she was doing the best she could with what is by far the laziest dialog ever written. It's like the director's idea of a bad girl is a girl who talks slowly and whispers at all times for absolutely no reason. There were no elements of surprise in the entire film as the character was so one dimensional that you could guess exactly how she would react to a situation and be absolutely correct to the point where it was ridiculous. Her first world problems back story makes her hard to empathize with. One final thought, why did they choose that particular actress? The character is supposed to be this sexy freak that men lose their minds over but every shot of her face is cringe worthy. I normally wouldn't judge based on looks but her character is supposed to be irresistible and everything about her, from her pout face to her god awful whisper voice is just terrible.
